Just purchased a navy RDZ-1 reciever, need info on its freq. range,
any manuals available, antenna hookup.
i have been able to power it up and i attach long wire ant. to scan
connection and i recieve WWV.
What was it used for? ship to ship, ship to shore?
any info would help


The RDZ is a circa 1944 shipboard receiver covering 225-400 MHz, with
manual tuning or 10-channel autotune, AM only, It is also called the
CNA-46275 unit of RDZ. If I'm not confused, that receiver, paired
with the TDZ transmitter, was used for short range ship-to-ship
communication


So it's IF must be 10MHz, to explain the reception of WWV?
