---or I wonder how jackal jammers worked against FM---
I bet not well. All 6/43 & later Deutch armor had FM to our post-ww2
surprise.
You read that right. 3rd Reich had 2-way FM in all panther (not panzer)
& tiger tanks. Seems they got some US Link stuff (SCR-298) @ Kiserine Pass
in Ethiopia in 6/42. It performed remarkably a DL3 pal 'o mine. This
corroborated by a history channel program last week
Germans cloned Link FM & AEG & Siemens built it.
Immitation is sincerest form of appreciation.
And I bet our later FM-targeted jammers exploited the it's capture effect
while they swam rather than pulsed their way thru a 2-way band.
Then came frequency hopping.
Back to the SCR-183 firmwhere.
