Description
The FuG16 was a VHF transceiver used to communicate with single seat fighter aircraft for R/T and W/T communications and were also used for ground fixes and DF homing on ground stations when used in conjunction with the FuG 10P or FuG 10ZY. Frequency Range was 38.5 to 42.3 MHz. The FuG 16 was also used for Y-Verfarhren (Y-Control) in which aircraft were fitted up as Leitjäger or Fighter Formation Leaders that could be tracked and directed from the ground via special R/T equipment.
Made of aluminum, bakelite and steel, this late model FuG16 Empfänger is an AMAZING used example! Removed from a complete radio system, there are some slight marks and wear due to the age, but nothing that detracts! Appears to be 100% COMPLETE internally, and it is mechanically functional, however I do not know if it is electrically functional. As such, I am selling this as-is. Most of the original RLM66 paint remains! I have shown its location in the last photo. A VERY RARE and FANTASTIC addition to any collection or restoration project!
