Hello Al,
                I too  have wondered about the very picture in question. 
I've seen it on various websites for a few years now. I'd take a "SWAG" 
that it was French, but can't quite make out the writing on it. Possibly 
the large eagle may signify that it iis from the old Ottoman Empire, 
"Austria-Hungary", I really don't know.

The radio set looks to be from the 1920's, the way it is built, but the 
picture itself has WW1 written all over it. I think it os too advanced 
to be from WWI though and looks to be something made in the early 1920's.

The tubes look to me to be of the "LS" variety. Another SWAG on my part.

Please let me know if you find out anything about it.

With the help of Goprdon,W3GK, I got my FB-XA and accompanying PSK 
preselector working very well. You can even copy SSB signals pretty 
fairly on it. Sensitivity is about 1 microvolt on AM and CW, not too 
shabby says I!

I hope all is well.

Best regards,
Joe

Folks,

This picture has been kicking around the Web for some time, but there
seems to be no credible information about it.



* Are these guys German or French or what?
* Military or police?
* What does the sign say?
* Can you identify the equipment or tube type?
* What exactly is going on?
