Original Description:
Soviet tank radio station R_123The R-123 is an FM radio station that was used in Soviet tanks until the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991. This was also one of the radio sets that was exported to all Soviet allies such as Iraq, Afghanistan, East Germany, North Korea, Cuba and Egypt. All R-123 units made for export were marked with English control labels. The US forces in Desert Storm and Operation Iraqi Freedom faced Soviet vacuum tube technology. The unfortunate Iraqi army, was equippe...d with radio sets of enormous and unnecessary complexity, with no spare parts and not much repair expertise. Both in Iraq and Afghanistan, the tankers were relieved to trade in their R-123 sets for modern and reliable American units. Features:    1. FM, ultra short-wave radio station.    2. 20 Watt transmitter.    3. Simplex and half-duplex telephony operation.     4. Squelch control.    5. 20.0 - 51.5 MHz frequency range divided into two sections (20.0 - 35.75 MHz, and 35.5 - 51.5 MHz). 1261 distinct usable frequencies separated by 25 KHz.    6. Can be used with a 4 meter antenna at a speed of approx 20 MPH.    7. Range is 20 KM without squelch enabled, and around 13 KM with squelch enabled while in motion.    8. Stationary operation allows for a range of 40 KM during the day and up to 50 KM at night.    9. Motorized station presets, where 4 stations can be set up along with their antenna matching settings. As the stations are switched to, the motors spin the mechanics to tune that frequency both on the radio set and the antenna matching system.This radio station utilized 32 vacuum tubes of 5 different types: 1П24Б (2), 1Ж29Б (22) , 6Ж45Б (4) , 6Ж5Б (2), ГУ50 (2). Semiconductors are also utilized (transistors and diodes). Many design aspects were completely and unabashedly copied from German WWII designs (illustrated below). This unit was very complex, both electronically and mechanically. The set was comprised of 7 modules:    1. HF Stage    2. Heterodyne    3. IF Stage and AF Stage    4. Front panel    5. Antenna matching system
