Panache Lake, Miller Lake, Fitzroy Park and Darlington Park. 



Major purchases of new equipment consisted of 76 V.H.F. mobile radio- 

 telephones, 50 ninety-channel V.H.F. transreceivers for use in the 118/128 Mc/s. 

 band (replacing obsolete equipment in 44 aircraft), and 25 remote control V.H.F. 

 transmitter and receiver frequency changing units. 



Modifications to existing radio equipment to conform with, or exceed, Depart- 

 ment of Transport Specifications, constituted a large part of the Maple Radio 

 Laboratory's work programme. A new completely transistorized lookout tower 

 multi-channel V.H.F. transreceiver was developed at the Sault Ste. Marie Radio 

 Laboratory and 30 units constructed for installation in the Sudbury District for 

 the 1963 fire season. Development is also under way at the latter laboratory of a 

 combination H.F. /V.H.F. portable completely transistorized transreceiver for use 

 in non-departmental aircraft which may be hired for short periods in severe fire 

 conditions.
