Evening all!
I gathered all my questions on German Radar, Peil and Horch Stelle together. ( In the Netherlands.)
And I wonder how much power, in KW, was needed to operate for example a Horch Stelle, stationary and mobile.
If anyone could point me to good source or info, thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Bertill.

Re: Power requirements for German SIGINT installations
Listening posts are equipped with receivers, which require very little power, certainly not enough that it would be measured in kilowatts. Only transmitters need a lot of power.

Re: Power requirements for German SIGINT installations
Rob, thank you for your reply!
Yes, I agree with you.
But. There were also supporting troops. Sure, it depends of the total amount of the troops.
And if local power is not available, there would be a generator provision (Maschinnesatz) And off course watersupply, first aid, storage, and so on.
Certainly if troops were stationed for more than just a few months at one location.
I am building a database of all German radar and Sigint locations in Holland.
So some questions rise to the surface.
