• Notes

• from Feb. to July 1924;
  Operating instructions (see tech.info) show a choice of completely different tube configurations:
  2 x UV201A needs a 6 v storage "A" Battery
  2 x WD12 uses 1.5 v dry "A" Battery
  2 x UV199 requires 3 x 1.5 v (= 4.5 v) dry batteries plus socket adaptors.
  Same is valid for the Cunningham equivalents.
  
  Later models could also use the following combinations:
  2 x UX199;
  2 x UX201A;
  and for increased output power:
  UX201A and UX112A
  UX201A and UX171A;
  UX199 and UX120;
  
  Later models have a terminal to connect a "C" bias battery in case of operation with an output tube of increased power: UX112A(max0.2 Watt); UX171A (max.0.7 Watt); UX120 (max.0.11 Watt).
