The radio that you see here is fully operational and virtually all original. It is divided into three sections, the middle being the principal transmitter, the right panel housing the main receiver (at the bottom, right), and the left panel housing the short-wave transmitter and receiver. At the upper left of the right panel is the antenna switch; just below that is the clock; and below the clock and to the left of the receiver is the emergency crystal radio. While the radio can receive both voice and morse code transmissions, it can only transmit in morse. The main transmitter operates using 110-115 volt DC current, at a modest 200 watts, while the short-wave unit operates on AC current, around 100 volts, at around 100 watts. The DC unit operates somewhere between 100 and 650 KC, while the SW unit operates between 2MC and 30 MC. The small units on the left wall are SW radios added during the Vietnam era. Scrolling to the left of the upper radio, we come upon the DC power supply box. To the right of the main radio, we see the doorway to the radioman's bunk, and above it the call letters of the Red Oak Victory, KYVM.
