![]() This gave the basic Sherman with this radio the ability to transmit on 10 FM channels, and listen on up to 20 if they had the crystals for all the channels. This radio set included a BC-604 Radio Transmitter, and two BC-603 Radio Receivers mounted on an FT-237 Mounting Tray. SCR-508: This radio had the most options of the three basic radios that could come in a Sherman tank. This did present a problem, in that the only radios the infantry or artillery used that could talk to the tanks were at battalion level since they were using AM Radios at the company level and lower. These radios were all FM band radios, used because FM radios deal with interference from the tank’s electrical system and motor better than AM radios. The TM covering these radios was TM 11-600 Radio Sets SCR-508-A, C, D, AM, CM, DM SCR-528-A, C, D, AM, CM, DM and AN/VRC-5 and it was very informative on how these radios worked. The SCR-508, 528, and 538 were all in the same family. Let’s talk about the radios, now that I know a little more about them. An SCR-528 with the canvas dust cover installed and open. This intercom allowed the crew to talk to each other, but not transmit on the radio, only the tank commander could do that, and as we will see, in a few cases he couldn’t either. The main radio set also had the tank intercom built into it. This lets the tank listen on the net for the HQ they answered to while still talking to his own unit. Command tanks had an additional SCR 506 mounted in the right front sponson. The Sherman tank came with an SCR-508, 528, or 538 radio set.
