Development

The Telefunken E1800 was launched in 1985 and was soon considered by experts to be the world's best receiver. This was followed by the E1800/3 version with an improved HF front end and, in about 1994, the E1800/A version with digital signal processing in the second intermediate frequency. The IF filters can be programmed by software in this DSP technology and replaced the mechanical filters on the 200 kHz IF of the E1800.

A slimmed-down version of the E1800 is the Telefunken E800.

The receiver exists with different company names on the front panel, from Telefunken, to AEG - Telefunken, DASA, EADS - the company has had different owners over the last twenty years.
