ARGOSY C. MK. 1 XR 105 EFFECT OF EXTERNAL STORES ON RADIO PERFORMANCE

Abstract

Radio trials have been carried out to determine the effect of externally carried stores on the performance of radio equipment in Argosy aircraft. One thousand lb. bombs incorporating tail unit 107 were chosen as representing the worst interference case. The only installation affected was the No. 2 V.H.F. but the performance was still within acceptable limits. During these trials it was found that the I.F.F. Mk. 10 R.F. feeder cables were unusually long. It is recommended that the possibility of shortening these cables or otherwise achieving lower electrical loss be investigated.
