Wireless Communications of the German Army in World War II

Most of this equipment received the generic prefix FuG for Funkgerät, meaning "radio device".

It operated in the 27,000 to 33,300 kHz (27 MHz - 33.3 MHz) range (same frequency range used by modern 27MHz CB radio systems) The FuG 2 was never used on its own but as an additional receiver in command tanks and relay devices.

It was usually installed in section leader and company commanders' vehicles, to allow them to listen on one frequency while transmitting and receiving on another.

As it operated on the same band as the FuG 5 it allowed them, for example, to listen to the regimental command net while talking to the subordinate units at the same time.

Matching the transmitters that operated in this frequency range, this receiver provided for 50 kHz channel steps in the 27.000 MHz to 33.300 MHz range for a total of 125 available channels.

It operated in the 27,000 to 33,300 kHz (27-33.3 MHz) frequency range with a transmission power of 10 Watts.

Range was approx 2–3 km when using AM voice and 3–4 km when using CW Reworked to produce the FuG 5 (Luft) variant which was used for air-to-ground communication until replaced with the FuG 7.

It operated in the 27,000 to 33,300 kHz (27-33.3 MHz) frequency range with a transmission power of 20 Watts.

These were usually early-model tanks with some of their armament removed and replaced by equipment for artillery observers.

It was used by the observers to communicate with the armoured unit leaders via their Fug 5 radios.

Comparable to the American SCR-508 tank radio, which covered a similar frequency range (20-27.9 MHz) at 25 watts and the SCR-608 artillery variant (which operated in the 27-38.9 MHz frequency band) The major difference between German Army tank sets and US Army tank and artillery sets was the American use of FM for the high-HF/low-VHF bands.

It operated in the 42,000 to 48,300 kHz (42-48.3 MHz) frequency range with a transmission power of 20 Watts.

It was matched with the Luftwaffe transceiver Fug 17 in ground support operations.

It was used for CAS operations, though these became rare after late 1944 with the result that many command tanks with this equipment fitted were converted to other roles.

It operated in the 1,130 to 3,000 kHz frequency range with a transmission power of 30 Watts.

It operated in the 1,130 to 3,000 kHz frequency range with a transmission power of 30 Watts.

It operated in the 1,130 to 3,000 kHz frequency range with a transmission power of 100 Watts.

It operated in the 1,130 to 3,000 kHz frequency range with a transmission power of 80 Watts.

FuG 16: A HF transceiver (receiver/transmitter) used in the command vehicles of Sturmartillerie units.

It operated in the 23,000 to 24,950 kHz (23-24.95 MHz) frequency range with a transmission power of 10 Watts.

It operated in the 24.1 to 25 MHz (24100 to 25000 kHz) frequency range with a transmission power of 5 Watts.

It operated in the 23.11 to 24.01  MHz (24100 to 25000 kHz) frequency range with a transmission power of 5 Watts.

It operated in the 19,990 to 21,470 kHz (19.99-21.47 MHz) frequency range with a transmission power of 5 Watts.

Comparable in range, performance and frequency band used to the VHF FM SCR-300 (BC-1000) infantry backpack radio set (40 MHz - 48 MHz, FM voice) used by US and Allied forces.

Feldfu h: 23.1 - 28.0 MHz Assault Guns and Sturmartillerie KL.Fuspr.d: A VHF transceiver.

During the war this was extended to cover the majority of the occupied areas or Europe and North Africa.

The K series were truck mobile units using a range of masts up to approximately 11 m tall.

Depending on the set a range of communication facilities were available consisting of voice and/or teletype and Hellscriber.

[4][5] DMG 2 T: Pack unit, operating on the 475 - 525 MHz band, single channel voice or 800 character-per-second teletype.

Power 220 V AC 50 Hz 680 VA. Stuttgart - FuG D 3: Development item, possible none deployed.
