RS-6 CIA Spy CW Radio Set 1950's. Offered here is all 4 parts of this extremely rare RS-6 c old war era clandestine radio set. A exciting opportunity to resurrect a part of military history into a useable Ham radio portable station. The complete radio set is packaged in 4 small, light weight units to make concealed carry by one man possible, something not easily done with its predecessor, the RS-1 or the later GRC-109.

The complete set of 4 units weighs less than 16 pounds. As a classic Black Radio, this long range HF CW morse code set was used by the CIA, partisans, Special Forces, Recon units and the U. Anecdotal evidence has them being used in Southeast Asia, Europe and Central America; they were probably used everywhere.

Oh, and they are quite EMP resistant. The contractor for RS-6 sets was Motorola in Chicago. From what are research shows CIA ordered many of these destroyed as they did not want them to get out in the wrong hands back then.

The RR-6 receiver (serial #5949) is a marvel of miniaturization using the technology available at the time; tunes 3-15 MC in two bands, with either VFO or crystal control. It is a super-het with a 455 Kc IF and it incorporates an interesting two-band tuning mechanism/spiral frequency dial. The RT-6 transmitter (serial #3031) tunes 3-16.5 MC in two bands with up to 10 watts output.

The transmitter is a 2-tube MOPA design using a 6AG5 crystal oscillator and a 2E26 PA tube. It includes a built-in, swing out CW key. The RP-6 power supply unit (serial #10016).

The power supply operates from 70 to 270 VAC, 42-400 cycles, or from 6 volts DC. The RA-6 filter accessory unit (serial #9564) Stored inside is the instruction cards included with the RS-6 set.
