Description
Used for intercept purposes and monitoring command nets, the Fu.H.E.v receiver belongs to the series of “half-height” monitoring receivers similar to the Fu.H.E.u and the Fu.H.E.u1. A well constructed, battery-operated 8-tube, heterodyne receiver of cast “Electron” alloy. A rotating turret of intricate design carries the HF, oscillator and mixer tank circuits. 4 sets of 4 tank circuits, each shielded by a light-weight die-cast “can”. Iron-core inductances are used in antenna and circuit coils. Variable ceramic capacitors provide parallel trimming. The contacts are not the brush type; instead, a long cam furnishes pressure to contact fingers.
The set covers the frequency band 24 – 170 MHz in 4 bands. The actual coverage of each sub-band is as follows:
( Band 2 ) 35-58 MHz
( Band 3 ) 52-95 MHz
( Band 4) 90-170 MHz
Made of aluminum and steel, this Fu.H.E.v Radio Intercept and Monitoring Receiver is in VERY NICE used condition! Though there are some marks, scratches, dents and wear, it still retains 98% of its original wartime paint! Though the outer casing is missing, it is otherwise 100% complete internally! I have not tested it for electrical functionality, but it should be a good candidate for anyone wishing to get it to work. All switches and dials work as they should. A VERY RARE radio it would make a FANTASTIC addition to any collection or display!
Note that as this weighs approx. 35lbs., I have ESTIMATED a general shipping cost. A more accurate shipping cost will be calculated at the end of the auction, based on the winning bidder’s address.
