Radio-Wörterbuch Deutsch-Englisch

Letzte Änderung 13.04.2011

Dieses Wörterbuch setzt seinen Schwerpunkt in der alten Radiotechnik und verwendet auch Begriffe, die heute schon fast vergessen sind.
Dieses Wörterbuch ist über Jahre eine der meist besuchten Seiten dieses Internet-Portals. Ich verwende hier für ä (ä) = ae, ö (ö) = oe und ü (ü) = ue sowie zumeist für ß (ß) = ss.

Vielen Dank an Peter Stepponat, Berlin
für das Korrekturlesen und zusätzliche Begriffe.
Vielen Dank an Jürgen Dworak für weitere Begriffe im Bereich Schalter, Kontakte, Relais.
