Correct. They came along during WW2. They were actually based on a captured German design.

They operated on the standard rescue frequency of 500 KHz, which is at the upper end of the Long Wave (LW) region.

Ah interesting I thought they were just a generator. Not a generator/radio combination.

However JohnB makes a good point about weight.

Well it was just a thought.
