T1154 Transmitter Types T.1154, T.1154A, B, C, D, E, F, H, I, K, L, M, N
T1154A, T1154B, T1154C, T1154D, T1154E, T1154F, T1154H, T1154I, T1154K, T1154L, T1154M, T1154N


The 1154 transmitter was fitted to the Lancaster bomber, motor torpedo boats and also used as a ground station.
Many are still around in collectors hands and operational as is the one pictured.

The frequency coverage is 5.5mc/s-1.5mc/s and 500kc/s-200kc/s in three ranges, blue, red, yellow.

The power output is 40-70 watts CW, 10-17.5 watts on RT "speech" and MCW. 

The aircraft version had an aluminum case for obvious reasons where as the marine version had a steel case.
The weight of this unit is 46 lb 10 oz.

Percentage Modulation 70 per cent.
Class C, with suppressor grid modulation on M.C.W. and R/T.

Microphone Carbon granule, or electro-magnetic with sub-modulator A.1134 or A.1134A.

Master Oscillator; sidetone and modulator; two indirectly-heated triodes, VTIO5.
Power amplifier, two directly-heated pentodes. VT 104.

Power Input from 12 or 24-V. rotary transformers, supplied from aircraft system in airborne installations.
Or from a.c. mains via a rectifier 1,200 volts, 200 mA. H.T.; 6 volts, 4 amps. L.T.; 6 volts 2.5amps keying relay, (approx. 280 watts total).

Additional information on the Wireless Set 1154 Transmitter
Kindly supplied by Bob Fairman.

The Lancaster was not the only aircraft in which this equipment was installed.
They were used extensively in aircraft of all types in the RAF during and after WW2.
I used them during the whole of my time in the RAF from 1949 to 1957 and they continued in use for some years after that.
During that time rumour had it that in a storage depot 'somewhere in England' there was a warehouse stacked to the rafters with unused replacement sets, which explained why they had not been superseded by radios of greater power which would have been a boon to us ops on long range Transport Command.

TRANSMITTERS, Types T.1154, T.1154A, B, C, D, E, F, H, I, K, L, M, N
T1154A, T1154B, T1154C, T1154D, T1154E, T1154F, T1154H, T1154I, T1154K, T1154L, T1154M, T1154N


Transmitters of the T.1154 series were designed primarily for installation in aircraft, to provide air-to-ground or air-to-air communication by W/T, and in all but two versions by .R /T as well.
Series L, however, was intended for installation in high-speed launches, and series D and E were introduced for mobile ground stations. Normally all these transmitters were used with receivers of the R.1155 series.

Frequency coverage
Altogether there were thirteen production varieties of the T. 1154, the principal differences between them concerning frequency coverage and the provision or absence of R/T facilities. Component variations in the drive and output units, modifications of the “click-stop” mechanism for rapid selection of pre-set frequencies, and the use of steel or aluminium cases account for further versions.
Table 1 enumerates the different types of transmitter and their frequency ranges. The colours stated in the table are those of the tuning controls for the ranges concerned.

Frequency coverage of transmitters T.1154

T.1154, *T.l154A, T.1154B, T.1154J, T.l154N
Range 1 (HF.), BLUE 10 Mc/s to 5.5 Mc/s
Range 2 (H.F.), RED 5.5 Mc/s to 3.0 Mc/s
Range 3 (M.F.), YELLOW 500 kc/s to 200 kc/s

T.1154C, T.1154F, ~T.1154H, T.1154K, T.l154M
Range 1 (H.F.), BLUE 16.7 Mc/s to 8.7 Mc/s
Range 2 (H.F.), BLUE 8.7 Mc/s to 4.5 Mc/s
Range 3 (H.F.), RED 4.5 Mc/s to 2.35 Mc/s
Range 4 (M.F.) YELLOW 500 kc/s to 200 kc/s

T.1154D, *T.1154E
Range 1 (H.F.), BLUE 8 Mc/s to 4.5 Mc/s
Range 2 (H.F.), RED 4.5 Mc/s to 2.5 Mc/s
Range 3 (M.F.), YELLOW 500 kc/s to 200 kc/s
T.1134L
Range 2 (H.F.), RED 5.5 Mc/s to 3 Mc/s
Range 2A (H.F.), BLUE 3 Mc/s to l.5 Mc/s
Range 3 (M.F.), YELLOW 500 kc/s to 200 kc/s

*Note._Transrnitters marked with an asterisk provide C.W. and M.C.W. only. All others are for C.W., M.C.W., and RT.

In all transmitters with three frequency ranges there are separate sets of tuning controls for each range, identified by colours as in the foregoing table. Series C, F, H, K, and M, however, use the same set of controls, coloured blue, for the two higher H.F. ranges.

Pre-set frequency selection
The click-stop mechanism is arranged so that the tuning controls click into and are rigidly held in the correct position for pre-set frequencies.
With the Multi-click system all the chosen frequencies are selected in turn as the tuning dials are rotated, and the operator sees which one is engaged at any moment by means of lettered tabs coming into view behind an aperture.
The mechanism can be released to allow free rotation of the dials when setting up frequencies which have not been pre-selected.

The Uni-click mechanism on the other hand allows one click-stop to be brought into use at a time, the stop required being selected by turning a selector knob to the appropriate position on a lettered dial.
