TV5 Radio Transmitter/Receiver

Just finished up the radio for my Freshspring project so I thought I'd share.

This is based off/recreation of the Marconi TV5 Radio which was equipped in some Navy vessels from 1943. There is no encoding so it would only be used in emergency to contact aircraft, ships or rescue craft most likely. I am not sure if it is the same radio that was put into the Freshspring when it was in service in the 50s, but the restoration ship does feature one in it's bridge.

The radio has simple operation, frequency range from 0-90. If pressing the send button with the transmitters and receiver on, it will transmit voice on the selected frequency. There is a table next to the radio that will allow the user to send morse code over the frequency. A light and tone will display incoming morse signals.

Report any problems you have with this system, it's a pretty simple system so it shouldn't break, unless I went smoothbrain on something.
