[Milsurplus] Rare German radio info needed.

[Hubert Miller]

I don't think you need to bother with a lot of photos. This is the one with the low height format and with the sliderule dial taking up most of the left to right side, yes?
Have him work with any type number on it. I can picture the receiver but i cannot recall the model number. There are a few of them owned in the USA. No, i do not 
have any tech info you are seeking, but this will certainly not be the most difficult to find data compared to some real mystery sets out there. 
I think now "Radio Bygones" even had a photo of it, some years back, which is where i  saw it. Think i saw one on Epay years back also.

Subject: [Milsurplus] Rare German radio info needed.

I have been contacted by a ham in Oregon who has a rather "interesting" German radio for which he would love to find some information, other than what he has, which isn't much.

Here is what he told me this morning: 

"Made approx 1960-67, German, GDR (East Germany?) for their police, army and border guards. Info and data tried to be kept secret. Hybrid, subminiature tubes and transistors, very good receiver ssb cw am, 1.5 to
22 mHz.  Low voltage 2 levels battery pack, attached; 1.2 v filaments (?)...Pretty much certainly designed to be rugged and portable and for hard use in the field! 13 kg probably including its ni-cad battery pack...
     Apparently the Poles stole it, likely several or a bunch of them, for their uses...
     Thinking we should find someone fluent and technically knowledgable of radio insides German, Polish would help maybe also, -and English. Who can navigate those web sites and sources ( .de and .pl ) There almost has to be some library/archive!"

Anyway, that is all I know at this point. I've asked him to provide me with as many good photos of this thing as he can come up with. I'll pass on to the list anything I learn.

In the meantime, does anyone here recognize this thing?
