The P-105M transceiver was developed in the early 60's as a replacement for the P-105D family of manpack transceivers. Used by Russian and East German armies, primarily by Infantry for Company to Battalion communication. Operating in one continuous band and output power of approximately 1 Watt. Modulation FM. Powered by two sets of 2.4V rechargeable  batteries.

   R-105 Russian Back Pack Set  
The most common of all the Russian radios to be found  all over the world, is the R-105 family of backpack radios. The radio is rather primitive by anybody's standards, it is not easy to use, nor does it have any saving graces save one, "If you fire one up, it usually works". First introduced in the early 1950's, it was revamped in the 1960's to use more modern materials ( D models ), and again in the 1970's ( M models ). It has been referred to by many as a slightly updated copy of captured WW II German sets and many of it's characteristics, and accessories will show this lineage.

   R-105 M (R-108m, R-109 M) is a portable and a mobile backpack. Operating mode is F3 (FM), simplex. It can be operated by remote control and used at relay operation

The short antenna supplied (Kulikow) with the sets is unique in design and also reminiscent of it's WW-II German ancestry. Constructed of a series of aluminium beads strung on a steel cable, a stiff spring on the end keeps pressure against these beads and a semi rigid but flexible antenna. Releasing this spring tension collapses the antenna allowing it to be rolled up for easy storage. Better than the British system on the PRC-349, US SCR-300, and anything produced in WW II, but still not as good as the U.S. "Stanley" tape configuration that's been in use since 1949 Though the R-105M series had been reported to be out of production before 1987, the following provided by one of the radio collectors group would tend to indicate that it was produced longer than officially thought. Further, it might reflect the build up of all armaments, due to the hostilities between Iraq & Iran

The R-105M is made from the same earlier aluminium alloy princip with chambers for every radio functions.The oscillator is capsuled into a unit and work as TX and RX oscillator.As the "father" R-105/108/109D the receiver have a automatic AFC controll tracking the receiver on to TX frequency if the other radio´s tx is of frequency.This shure,could be turned off and on.  Tubes: 1P24B, 1SH17B, 1SH18B

Russian tubes history

Soviet type UM-2 is a VHF RF amplifier used to amplify the RF output of the R-105M, R-108M or R-109 family of manpack VHF FM sets. It was issued in the late 1950s and used contemporary developments: valved RF amplifier (type 6P23P) and transistor HT invertor unit. The accumulators are fitted in a separate compartment at the rear of the unit. It is built up as backpack in the same housing as for example R 105M (bakelite), only deeper  in  dimensions.
