Curious how they determined this was a DDR made transmitter, and not Soviet (or Czech, etc.)



It comes with a tuning table attached to it written in German.


The page cites “Louis Meulstee, Wireless for the Warrior” as its reference for a nickname of the device, and also links to an excerpt of it that notes that a similar transmitter was actually Czech. I suppose this Louis Meulstee may have been who figured out it was DDR, but without buying that book I guess I won't know how.
