Zellweger AG, Uster, developed a portable transceiver with four crystal controlled channels and frequency modulation in the fifties, the set was introduced in 1957 with the infantry, around 1300 sets have been built.
The wireless station SE-200 consists of the transceiver itself in a
robust metal cabinet on a backback carrying frage with a weight of 18,0 kg
and a hand cranked generator, which has a weight of another 17,6 kg. The receiver is of a single conversion design, the antenna signal will pass
two R.F. amplifier stages and then be mixed (1R5) with the fourth harmonic of the
frequency channel quartz (in the range 4,745 - 7,245 MHz). The resulting intermediate
frequency of 3,02 MHz will be amplified in three stages (1T4, 1T4, 1T4) and will be demodulated
after having passed the limiter (1U4) and the diskriminator stage (1N34). The audio
signal has to pass another two amplifier stages (1U4, 3S4) and will feed the headphones,
a 1U4 valve is used for the squelch. The SE-200 is designed for very uncomplicated operation: next to the telescopic
antenna socket and the external antenna jack, You find the main switch combined
with the volume control. The frequency is selected by pressing one of four frequency
channel buttons. The set is equipped with a telescopic antenna, by use of a 15 m coaxial
cable an a separate base, this can also be used as "long distance antenna"
erected on a well suited hilltop, a tree or something similar.
