Mittelwellen Empfänger c
 

This is an advanced and high quality middle-wave receiver that was used in command vehicles to communicate with headquarters during battle. It was commonly used together with the 30 W. S. a and the 80 W. S. transmitters.

 
Specifications
 
FREQUENCY RANGE:
(Mo) 830 KHz - 3 MHz. Split into 2 frequency ranges: 830 KHz - 1600 KHz and 1600 KHz - 3 MHz

TUBES (TYPE and NUMBER):
9, all RV 12 P2000 , used as R-F amplifier, mixer, local oscillator, BFO, 1st I-F amplifier, 2nd I-F amplifier, signal and AGC detectors, and both A-F amplifiers (push-pull output stage). I-F frequency is 352 kHz, BFO is 353 kHz
USE:
These receivers are used in armored vehicles, in tanks for communication between tank company and tank battalion headquarters, and in stationary installations for long-range communication with marine stations. They can be used in nets with American amplitude-modulated radio sets within the frequency and distance range. This receiver can also be used to communicate with the Torn. Fu. g backpack transceiver,
TYPE OF SIGNAL:
Tone and voice, amplitude modulated
RANGE: (MILES)
TO COMMUNICATE WITH:
Battalion, regimental, or divisional headquarters
TO REPLACE IN PART:
 

 
Receiver obverse. Interesting and unusual grey paint. These radios have probably been repainted during or after the war.

 

 
An incorrect meter for this receiver. The anode voltage reads 400 Volts - which will destroy this receiver's circuits and vacuum tubes. The correct voltage is between 120 and 140.

 

 
The receiver's serial number and year of manufacture. German serial numbering system remains a mystery to this day.

 

 
The inside of the box. Note the phenolic plates for insulating parts of the receiver.

 

 
Rear of the receiver. All tubes and shielding in place.

 

 
Tamper stickers have been removed from tuning openings - this receiver has been tuned before.

 

 

 

 

 

 
Two antenna connectors, one for each frequency range.

 

 
The 3-dmensional "Spritzguß" Elektrum chassis - one of the powerful signatures of German WWII radio engineering. It is almost certain, that somewhere on the chasiss, the name "Mahle" is embossed.

 

 

Preceise and modular construction.
