R-129

HF Radiostation

Radio station portable, short-wave, transceiver, simplex, telephone and telegraph, with a single-sideband modulation, with quartz frequency stabilization. Produced in the Soviet Union, introduced to the equipment of the Polish Army in the late 60s.

Built on a germanium semiconductor devices and subminiature lamps. Structurally suitable for landing from large heights in the tank assault. It was equipped units Airborne and reconnaissance battalions. Since the beginning of the 80s replaced gradually by radio R-143.
