DEU - FuPeil A 40 "EP 2" (DV/SV - radiový zaměřovač)

EP 2/EP 2a (SF/OF) historically "Central frekventní radiozaměřovač EP 2/EP 2a.

He was one of the first types of radio-finders used in air force and civilian airlines.
He was known with the typical single or double circular antenna.
It was used as a stationary in buildings, or in the box nástavbách cars or lifts and they were called "GONIO".

There were several versions of the receiver (Empfänger), mark. E xxx(type the number):

E 383 N (FuPeil AND 40) EP 2a with a range of 75 – 3333 kc/s (kHz), divided into 5 ranges, for each was a separate scale.

E 468 N (FuPeil And 40a) with a range of 300 to 600 kc/s (kHz)

E 538 N (FuPeil And 40b) with a range of 75 - 750 kc/s (kHz)

It was used as a so-called regional to the tracking of aircraft outside of the airport space, but mainly as a sestupový for controlled descents at a small height of the lower base of the clouds in the area of the airport. Collaborated with on-board radio sets LR-10 (FuG 10) or another radio, with a frequency range of 300 to 600 kc/s (kHz).

In čs. the air force was for "targeting" reserved zone 425 kc/s (kHZ).


Worked exclusively in telegraphy by using the so-called "Q – code". (Perfect knowledge of morse code at that time belonged to the gonistů to the so-called 1. literacy).

For connection with the aircraft were used by the majority of transmitters Lorenz 100 W.With. with the power of 100 W, the control of the reticle in the areas of use transmitters with output power up to 800 W.
