Receiving and transmitting radio equipment.Aviation search and rescue radio station "R-855" has been produced since 1959. The radio station "R-855" (Komar) is intended for radio communication in extreme conditions. It was used in aviation, for communication between paratroopers and the ground, in emergency and search situations. The radio station "R-855" was used to complete the suits of military pilots. When used in emergency situations, in case of a fall on the water, the kit, in which the antenna was inflatable, was inflated with compressed air and the radio station began to give a `` SOS '' signal. Subsequently, the radio station was upgraded several times to the R-855-2M, R-855U, R-855UM and other options. The first radio stations were assembled on rod lamps, followed by transistors. In addition to the model, the radio stations also had configuration options A, B, C. A helmet could be connected to the radio station. The operating frequency of the radio station is 121.5 MHz. Transmitter power 100 MW. Sensitivity 5 μV. The detection range of signals from an altitude of 10,000 meters reached 300 km.
