[Milsurplus] history of optical digital radio display?

[Brian Harrison]

Hello all,

I am starting to work up an antique wireless association presentation on the advent of the optical digital display - who invented, what military and civilian radios of various countries used, etc etc… At this point regarding military radios I'm assuming the WW2 Germans were first wth their E-52 family of receivers with the Russians and US picking up on the idea possibly assisted by "inheriting" German radio engineers - and maybe in the case of the Russians, entire manufacturing plants.

I’d appreciate any info or ideas…!

Tnx and all the best,
brian
