As such, we highly encourage any and all radio enthusiasts to contribute to our cause. While this means that many needed radio examples still exist, it also means that we face stiff competition from others who seek the same equipment for personal use. True, the HAM radio community has gone far to preserve such equipment, however, this has proven to be a double-edged sword. Aircraft of the 1940s were anything but crude, and the miles of wiring that powered the B-17’s radio equipment are witness to that fact. Part of our unparalleled commitment to accuracy, we feel that functional equipment is crucial to giving an appreciation of aerial warfare in the Second World War. While it is not uncommon for antique aircraft to be restored using damaged or even hollow radios, we at Hangar Thirteen intend for Lucky Thirteen‘s radio complement to be fully functional. In the growing government sector, IGP has introduced the first all-encompassing anti-drone solution on the market.SSGT Roland Downs adjusts the radio mast on Heaven’s Above (42-97328, 388BG)Ĭharlie Liberto, our radio restoration expert, came to us highly recommended from the Asheville Radio Museum and has thrown himself into the daunting task of rebuilding Lucky Thirteen‘s radio equipment. IGP also designs and builds SNG vehicles that make the most out of the limited dimensions with the same ergonomic standards as in normal broadcast studio facilities. IGP’s SD/HD encoders and modulators allow cost efficient adaptation to HD or cost reduction in SD transmissions. The latest VPS antenna system (VPS-X) is the first vehicle mounted antenna system that has redundant pointing technology and is therefore faster than any other mobile antenna system.

The VPS system can also be used as a very cost-effective means to provide automatic back-up to fiber-optic audio and video networks. The Virtual Private Satellite (VPS) system designed by IGP allows reliable network management from and to fixed and mobile antennas and can be used with transmission equipment from various manufactures. Ideal for trouble-free DVB and IP satellite transmissions. IGP develops and manufactures highly advanced, reliable, automated SNG and fixed antenna systems for C, Ku and Ka band.
