Marine Receiver – PEDERSEN B 400 HF

Article by Radio Officer Riccardo Memeo (The Netherlands)

When I signed on board of the M/T Rosy/6zop (a former danish tanker) I found in the radioroom a large quantity of the official magazine of the danish Radio Officers “Radiotelegrafen” with a lot of very interesting pictures and informations about many receivers, transmitters and all other electronic equipments used on board of danish vessels.

An article that had immeditiately caught my attention was about a HF Rx of the firm M.P. Pedersen that was used at Lyngbyradio. It was the model B 400 that looked really a dream receiver at that time, it was in the late years sixties. I have found later on also the original pamphlet of the receiver with the complete technical specifications.

Unfortunately I have never had the pleasure to use it or just to see it.

Here the brochure of the receiver:
