described as being identical to the 9-R3 radio set, except that the
transmitter and receiver were separate units and were installed about two meter'', apar
from each other in the tank.
the 9-RS radio set was a later model than the 10-RM radio set.
The 10-RM radio set was supposedly being withdrawn from tanks due to its short range
and inconveniently separated transmitter and receiver when installed in the tank.
The 10-RM radio set was installed in some medium tanks (T-34). but these were grad-
ually being re laced by the 9,-RS type.

4. Very little instruction was given on this set at the 008 in Poznan. Officer
lecturers frequently told candidates that the 1041K radio
set 148 to be replaced by the 10.4M-26. Therefore, they refrained from giving any
detailed instruction on the 10-RK, stating that such instruction would only tend to
confuse the candidates when operating the 106RZ-26.

the 106-AK radio set was similar in design to the 104,K-26, except
that the receiver of the former was built on top of the transmitter.
the 10-RK had initially been produced in the USSR during 1944. The
operating frequencies of the 10-RK were different from those of the 9-RS; thus, the
104X type was operated only together with another 10-RK type, while the 9-RS type was
operated together with another 94S type.
Type 1041-26 (See page 6 for memory sketch)
training on the 10-RK-26 radio set was limited to general familiarization
wtth its parts and method of operation.

8. The 1041K-26 radio set had been used in propeller-driven aircraft on 26 volts at one 50X1
time, but it had been converted to 24 volts for utilization in tanks and self-pro-
)eiledgIns of heavy caliber (122 and 152-mm). Some of these' radio sets 50X1
fr tanks were still marked 26 volts. The radio set using 24 volts for trans- 50X1
mitting received on 12 volts. This was done automatically when the transmitter-receiver
switch was turned. 50X1
9. During daylight hours, the radio set had a range of 40 to 60 km. During darkness,
the range was reduced by one-half. Transmission distances, using CW, was double that
of voice. When the tank operated at 40 to 50 Ina per hour, the transmission and recap-
tion was somewhat reduced in range and volume or even interrupted. The radio set

operated on ultra-high frequency.
Music from an unidentified location could be
heard by manually turning to the highest number on the dial.
The set had 15 crystals, which were numbered in multiples of five and/or ten, begin-
ning from 180 to 300. Among these, one crystal numbered 301, but
no knowledge concerning its use. (See item 26, page 4 for the location of
crystals within the set).

2. The tuning dialjhad red, yellow, and black segments (see items 7, 8, and 9, page 4 )
which operated with red and ,yellow crystal sockets when the switch was set appropri-
ately at red and yellow (see items 24 and 25, page4 ). Black indicated operation of
the set without a crystal (self-excited oscillator operation).
34 To tune the transmitter and receiver, the two switch knobs (transmitter and receiver)
were both set on the same color. The tuning knob was then adjusted until the neon
light was brightest. The set was then ready to Operate on the crystal frequency of
the crystal insulated in the holder of the same color. In the case of self-excita-
tion, all controls were On black. The receiver was automatically tuned simultane-.
ously with the transmitter,

candidates that the 10-RK-26 was considered to be the newest Soviet tank radio.

could not transmit and receive simUltaneously. The menufacturer's name was not ebown
on the set, but a series of numbers in Cyrillic script was stamped on its front.
15. The tank commander operated the set. Battalion commanders and higher echelons usually
had two 104K-26 sets in their tanks, One being used for communications with subordinate
units and the other being used for communication with higher echelons.

heavy tanks and 122 and 152 mm $P guns was that this radio assured communications
between subordinate and higher echelons of the armored forces.
