Re: What's the meaning of the German word "Peiler"?
The translation would be Kurzwelle (short wave) / Langwelle (longwave) Peiler (direction-finder). Peiler is the short-form in German language for a Peilgerät.
In your particular case it could be a device to search for a certain frequency on the short- and longwave-band.
The term peilen is also used in the German nautical navigation. With a sextant you (peil)to a certain star to undertake navigational measurments for the course of your vessel.
Hope this helps
All the best
