Radio problems Me 262.

In the KTB nr. 79 of Luftflottenkommando 3 was at September 10th, 1944 asked for assistance of a "Funkspezialist" for the Me 262s of Kdo Schenk. During September 8th and 9th, 1944 of almost all planes "Ausfall der Funkeinrichtungen" during operations.
Is the reason of this malfunctioning known and did it happened also after these dates.

I am thinking of the crashlanding of Oblt Lehmann at November 26th, 1944. He was doing an operation with Uffz Horst Sanio to Helmond area(Neth.). Sanio was hit by AAA over Helmond and both were flying away in North direction. Sanio made crashlanding near Vorden(Neth.) and Lehmann near Kirchwistedt(Germ.)
So Lehmann must have "missed" Rheine. Was he without radio-connection with his base? Did he had "Ausfall der Funkeinrichtung". Was also his compass not working well?
By the way, was there a relation between the radio and compass equipment?
I hope someone can help.
