The following information has been taken from diverse sources, but mostly comes from "Century 21" No.15, Winter 1993, a Special Captain Scarlet issue, with a Complete Spectrum Encyclopaedia. 

Thanks to  "DJU" who has sent me these  beautiful pictures to help me illustrate this section!

 

 

 

SPECTRUM EQUIPMENT:


SPECTRUM CAP MICROPHONE
(RADIO CAP)



The cap mikes are miniatures transceiver systems built into the Captains' uniform caps, with drop-down microphones (on the left-side of the face) which allow communications between each Captain, The  Captains of Cloudbase and other people.  The caps are activated by an electrical impulse, triggered by the initial radio carrier-wave, directed from the Control Tower on Cloudbase, which activates the electronics and operates the microphone.


Another part of the Captain's communications system are their uniforms epaulettes.  These are-gas-filled "flash-tubes", which light up with a certain colour, coded to the name-colour of whomever the Captain is in communication with.  Cap mikes are also able to make security wave-band changes, as given in each Captain's code-book.

While on the right picture, the mic is in "talking" position.
