Emergency transmitter

Emergency transmitter T-47 / CRT-3 manufactured by Signal Corps. The device was probably used on a Scandinavian Airlines Systems aircraft. The original transmission frequency was 500 kHz. The transmitter could be used in an emergency on a life raft by lifting the device’s antenna with a hydrogen balloon or a box kite.

The yellow transmitter was located in a transport bag, which also contains two hydrogen balloons in metal cans. The bag also contains a box kite and 10 other pieces of other rescue equipment.

Note! The object in the museum’s collection does not physically transfer to the adopter, but by adopting the item, you support the museum and receive a good feeling as well as a certificate of adoption. ‘Adopt an object’ is a form of fundraising familiar from international museums.
