the CW-926A audio amplifier, the CW-969 antenna switch, the
CW-930 microphone, the CW-834 headset and the CW-929 Horn
Speaker. The transmitter and theaudio amplifier operated directly off the 350
volt outputs of the CW-927dynamotors. The entire system operatedfrom the
ship's 30 volt storage batteries. This first completely successfulvoice
modulated equipment was designed for use on any one of fivefrequencies. The
frequency could beshifted to any one of these, all of which were within the
band 500-1,500 kc.,by means of a simple frequency change switch which cut in
different fixedvalues of capacity and inductance for each of the five switch
positions. For auction is theCW-938 transmitter-receiver manufactured by
