U.S. Infantryman Walking with SCR-536
Considered the first modern hand-held, self-contained, radio transceiver, the SCR-536 was developed in 1940 and by July 1941 was in mass production. Colloquially referred to as a “walkie talkie,” the Galvin Manufacturing Corporation (turned Motorola in 1947) originally designated it as a “handie talkie”--the terms are often confused as the original walkie-talkie referred to the back mounted model SCR-300 voice radio receiver/transmitter. Weighing in at 5 lbs., there was no external power switch on the SCR-536. The operator pulled out or pushed in the antenna on the top, which operated an internal switch to turn the radio on or off. T he range of the unit varied with terrain; from a few hundred feet (about 100 metres), to one mile (1.5 km).
