"Samos"
receivers have been used by German submarines to monitor the 200 MHz band
searching for the radar signals of approaching British bombers primarily in the
Bay of Biscay where German Navy (Kriegsmarine) had five large submarine shelters
along French coast. After
British and American bombers switched over to 10-cm radars (3 GHz),
"Samos" receivers have become obsolete as submarine
equipment.
