[Milsurplus] item of interest - UK vs. USA VHF/UHF

[Hue Miller]

German equipment has its attractions, i'd say among them pretty good 
ergonomics
and "big picture" front panels. However most of the designs date to the 
military
pre-war ramp up and even the FuG16 aircraft low-VHF set looks set at about 
1941
technology. Of course, maybe producing that was even some accomplishment,
considering the pounding their war machine and industry was taking, and also 
having
to continually watch over a slave empire. Such equipment as the ARC-1, 
SCR-594/
BC-1306, SCR-300/ BC-1000, PPN-2, MN-26 and other ADFs, ART-13, aircraft 
radars,
the proximity fuze, minature and submini  tubes,  this gear was light years 
ahead of
anything the axis was producing. -Hue Miller
