Dimensions
(WHD) of the radio - 470 х 370 х 245 mm. Weight of the radio in a
carry bag - 22.7 kg. On top of radio and hand generator, the V-100 set included antenna carriage of 18 kg containing 2.5 m long whip, a
dipole and two 6.6 m high antenna supports. There were three men required to
carry all the V-100 radio belongings.
Both

Island City, NY) on special contract with AMTORG, a US company with 100% USSR
capital. According to the contract, radios had to have all the panel markings
and technical documentation in Russian language.
There
is a
scanned copy of V-100 manual in Russian language available. Our
V-100-B radio has its front cover separated because of lack of space
in the showcase.
