Receiver Type R1116A

The R1116 dates back to the 1930s and was built to be used along with the T1115 transmitter. The sets were installed/fitted in the Sunderland Flying boats and the well known Fairy Swordfish aircraft in the late 1930s, and into the early years of WWII.
The R1116 is a battery operated, double-superhet, eight-valve receiver, with frequency ranges of 142 kc/s to 1600 kc/s and 2 Mc/s to 20 Mc/s. Used for RT and CW communications, it also had Direction Finding (D/F) facilities.
The power required to operate the R1116 was derived from batteries, delivering voltages of HT=120 volts, Grid-bias=10.5 volts, and 2 volts for the filaments of the valves.
