VHF/UHF Communications receiver - this page is a stub

E-1900/3 is a high-end professional VHF/UHF communications receiver, manufactured around 1990 by AEG Telefunken (later: DASA) 1 in Ulm (Germany). It is basically the VHF/UHF version of the E-1800/3 HF receiver. It is suitable for intercept, direction finding, radio monitoring, etc.

In its basic form, the E-1900/3 covers a frequency range from 20 MHz to 500 MHz, that can be expanded to 1000 MHz by adding a plug-in module for the 500-1000 MHz range.

This page currently acts as a placeholder for future information about this receiver.
