Piper L4 Cub Radio Fit

Can anyone help with details on the ground to air radio fit for American Piper cubs and where the wireless set was located? I’m up to speed with the Auster and the WS22 set for ground comms but would be nice to see what the U.S Recce pilots used.

Thanks chaps, thats exactly the information that i was looking for, would the SCR be correct for the DDay period as i’m researching the pros and cons of the auster and cub.

That’s the later SCR set, the very early versions had the RCA AVT15A transmitter on the rear desk and RCA AVR20 Receiver mounted on the left hand side in the birdcage. Later they used the same receiver with an AVT115 set both mounted in the birdcage. I have full photos of both, pm me and I’ll send them through as images too large to post on here. Ialso gave all the manuals for installation and operation

Not sure if these are of any help, but when we were taking the Broussard to France in September, we spent two days at Theux in Belgium visiting friends.

Whilst there, this L-4 arrived that has been restored back to what I believe is its original configuration.

Best wishes,

Martin
