LUFTWAFFE NIGHT FIGHTERS WERE EQUIPPED WITH AN IFF TRANSPONDER DESIGNATED FuG25a. IT WAS PROGRAMMED TO RESPOND TO GROUND RADAR CONTROLLERS WITH AN AUDIBLE MORSE CODE SIGNAL PROGRAMMED BY METAL KEYS INSERTED BY GROUND CREWMEN BEFORE EACH MISSION. THESE WERE CODED A AND B. THE COCKPIT CONTROL BOX THAT LET THE PILOT OR RADAR OPERATOR SWITCH BETWEEN THESE 2 MORSE CHARACTERS WAS DESIGNATED BEDIENGERATE, OR BG25a. I HAVE A BEAUTIFUL EXAMPLE OF ONE OF THESE LISTED ON eBAY AS LISTING #361627305767.
