The use of a wooden home styled cabinet would not be out of the
question for some airfields before or during during WW2, especially if
the chassis (like the AVR-11) was of the same dimensions but enhanced
for serious duty. Metal needed for the war effort would be saved, and
the wooden cabinet would have superior acoustic properties in most
cases. If the Meissener was used at an airfield, it would likely be on
one LF frequency, and operated in continuous duty. In those times, the
aircraft talked to the tower on HF, but listened to the tower reply on
LF. The LF transmitter would often serve as a beacon, transmitting an
MCW ID signal when there was no audio from the tower.
