Description
The SEG2T is a UHF transportable, tripod-mounted, single-channel, beamed equipment with provision for voice and for local and remote control. The transceiver, batteries, and accessories are carried in cases for standard German construction and the tripod in a canvas bag. The folding antenna is plugged into a four-point socket at the back of the transceiver case. Antenna, headphones, microphone handset key, remote control cable, spare tubes and induced current ammeter are carried in the accessories bag.
An acorn tube acts as a plate-modulated, parallel rod oscillator. The detector is a conventional, superregenerative, acorn oscillator. The two circuits are identical except for the grid leak of 5 kilohms in the transmission circuit. A triode operating as a Hartley oscillator on 550 KHz, coupled inductively to the detector, provides external quench. Quench voltage is preset by means of a 200-ohm potentiometer across the coupling coil. Superregeneration is controlled by a 10 kilohm variable resistance in the feed to both oscillators. It is believed that special troops use this equipment in air-raid net or tactical net at Corps. Camouflaging this tripod-mounted gear and the necessity for an optical transmission path, make it vulnerable to “spotting”.
Only 1000 SEG-2T “Elster” readio sets were ever manufactured.
