Re: When did the Luftwaffe introduce the D/F aerial Loop on the Bf109-G6

Hi!

The loop antenna was exclusive to the FuG16 radio. It was called the "PR16".

From what I recall, the FuG16 used separate antennas for sending and receving...while the FuG7 (E thru G5 models) only used the one.

I could be completely off on that, so I will let the radio experts answer...but...100% the loop was used because of the change to the FuG16 radio from the older FuG7.

Mike
