Body wearable covert radio
- under construction
The T-47/50, codenamed KAMA 1 , was a solid-state
battery powered body wearable covert transceiver
developed in the USSR around 1968. The radio was intended for use
by the intelligence services of the USSR,
such as the KGB,
and was used for surveillance operations.
|
KAMA consists of a so-called body pack (main unit),
a detachable remote control unit (RCU)
and various accessories.
The body of the KAMA radio is somewhat curved, so that it can easily
be hidden under the operator's clothing, where it was usually carried
in some kind of harness.
The physical appearance of the radio greatly resembles that of the
Sinitsa radio direction finder
that was built in the same era.
In fact it even shares some of its accessories, such as the speaker
and the vibrator.

KAMA is a river in west-central Russia, rising west of the Ural Mountains
and flowing about 2030 km to the Volga River, of which it is the largest
tributary.
|
|
KAMA is equipped with a remote control unit (RCU that is similar to other
covert transceivers, such as NEVA. The RCU is removable,
so that its cable can be guided through the sleeve of the operator's coat
more easily.
