Tornister EmpFänger b

Tornistor Empfanger b (Bertha ).

The receiver is build in 1940 by Telefunken.

This shortwave receiver is a direct conversion, 2 stages HF , 1 “Audion” detector and a LF stage. All tubes are of the type RV2P800. The feedback or reaction gain in the detector stage is tuneble with the little knob below the small scale of it.    This makes the receiver suitable for CW and even SSB and becomes then very sensitive and selectief.

It is a very well working receiver for listning at the amateurbands.

The headphones is the DFha. The elements have an impedance of 2000 ohm.

It is used by the army (Wehrmacht) in the field, it could be carried on transport, at the back of the wireless operator.

It was also used in radio vehicles as a mobil station.
