[Milsurplus] Re: for FLR/9 Servicer Pos. Telefunken PE10x??

[aGEnuine ham]

Nope.

Telefunken built and builds many portable and transportable DF sets for
military applications.  See the Military Electronics volumes of Jane's
for the past 30 or so years for a cross section of their products. 
Plath, a name little known outside the Bundespost, is their major
competitor, and in my opinion builds better equipment.  Four, six and 8
channel receivers are common as are goniometers.  Have absolutely nothing
to do with Wullenwebers in general or CDAAs in particular.  I don't think
Germany ever built another CDAA after the WW2 originals.  Maybe if you
count some version of the Pusher, but not real CDAAs.

The FLR-9 at Augsburg was built for INSCOM by F & M Systems, using
domestic US components.  Little of the original operations hardware
compliment remains after 30 odd years, but the principal collection
receiver, last I heard, was (ugh!!!) the Racal 6790.  No, actually,
that's not quite true.  I  heard they were getting Ten-Tecs in the last
upgrade, but never heard confirmation they were in.  The site was turned
over to Germany 5 to 7 years ago (my how time flies) for political
reasons, but as soon as Germany found how much it was going to cost them
to maintain any semblance of operation, they tried to give it back. 
Sorry, it's on German soil, we said, it's yours.  Gave 'em back Bad
Aibling last year, too.  Which is why the fas.org web site is so
entertaining.  They always seem to be 10 steps behind the real world.
