200 Watts, same as us.  Early was Sender typ T-200-FK-39.  Looks like
one or two final tubes 813 size. later was Sender S-406, 200 Watts,
3.75-15 Mhz.  Also LW Sender 2113-I-S, 150 Watts, 300-600 Kc.
Construction is modular and robust.  My impression is it was very
reliable.  Reference:  Funkpeilung als alliierte Waffe gegen deutsche
U-Boote 1939-1945, Arthur O. Bauer

This equipment parallels out TBL transmitter, used in all the subs at
sea.  175-600 Kc, 2,000-18,100 KC.  200 Watts A1, 100 Watts A2, 50 Watts
A3.
