====== P-733 ======
**RF - direction finding system P-733**, **Plath SFP 5200**; manufactured by [[Plath|C. Plath GmbH, Hamburg]].

The [[Plath]] - SFP 5200 HF direction finding system partially replaced the [[P-732]] / SFP 5000 system for HF radio monitoring by the EKF; it was used from 1990 to approx. 2007.

  * **Direction finding antenna**: U-Adcock DF antenna Telefunken AK1200D

===== Operation =====
The P-733 / **Plath SFP 5200** system consists of the **PET 5200** receiver section and the **SAG 5200** display section, the **PSO 5200** synthesizer, **PZF 5200** IF processor and **BET 5200** control and input keypad in one unit.

The 8/16-fold U-Adcock antenna AK1200D from Telefunken is used as the DF antenna, with an inner base with a diameter of 8 m and an outer base with a diameter of 36 m. It was partially replaced in 2003 by Plath U646 antennas (diameters 10 / 40 m).

The systems remained in use until 2007 and were liquidated in 2008 and replaced after a transitional period by the Plath DDF 5050 (SFP 5050) digital direction finding system, which got the designation P-765.

==== Deployment ====
Thirteen of the SFP 5200 HF direction finding systems developed by Plath after 1983 were acquired in 1990 for the EKF's electronic radio reconnaissance; the P-733 system remained in service until 2007 and was liquidated in 2008.
