GBR - D/F FV 10 (VKV - automatický zaměřovač)

Automatic VHF sight PV 10

Automatic VHF radio finder was primarily designed for use on airport stations of the Royal navy (Royal Navy).
Frequency range 100 to 156 Mc/s (MHz) was divided into 3 working zones:
a) 100 - 118 Mc/s
b) 118 - 132 Mc/S
c) 132 - 156 Mc/s

He could work on two frequencies ( at the same time for 2 aircraft).
The basis was a pair of receivers "Receiver Type 62A", in the RAF mark. R 1392.

Sight PV 10 from the PV 11 differed mainly by the fact that he had for operating rooms or flight control 2 profitable indicators "rack" structure.
Different was also the "head" so antenna molecules of the unit

To evaluate the orientation ("beam") served indicator "C.R.T Unit 4" diameter x 6" (approximately 12.5 cm).
So antenna molecules unit could be mounted in the vicinity of the reticle or on mast the design of flight control (cable length up to 60 m).
At the height of the so antenna molecules "head" of approximately 7.5 m was the reach of "focus" at the height of the airplane is 3000 m and the performance of the on-board transmitter 5 W to 200 km.
