Although VHF-FM offered many advantages for speech communication over relative short range, communication over longer distances still depended on HF. HF radios from the same period have been installed and used with the original Larkspur VHF-FM radios.
Station Radio C12 was introduced in the mid-fifties as an interim replacement for Wireless Set No. 19 pending the production of Station Radio C13 for RAC armoured car regiments. It was later reallocated from RAC to a variety of other roles including Infantry when its place in the RAC was taken over by Station Radio C13. Note that this set has many similarities with Wireless Set No. 62 which was produced earlier by the same manufacturer.
