Will,
I did some fairly bizarre modem design for a downhole well logging camera, transmitting
power and digital video over 5 miles of coax. I can probably answer any modulation
questions you may have, or point you to the literature I used in my research and design.

AFAIK there's no transmission equipment as
part of the SZ42 itself though, so
something would still need to be hooked between that and a giant aerial in
order to do the transmission; I think it was this bit that Will was interested in.
No, I am interested in the thing that modulates the bitstream, before
the transmitter. The modem, basically, not the transmitter.

I think I can be pretty certain to say the Germans were doing nothing
really odd back then. I am more interested in exactly what kind of set
they were using to do the FSK modulation (and demodulation).

You might check out Heddy Lamar, and spread spectrum modulation on the wiki. It looks
like Telefunken was into this for secret communications. It might turn out to be quite a
bit more sophisticated than you think.
