Re: Me 262 Radio Equipment?
The "loop" antenna is actually a homing antenna, with the loop being fixed. It was part of the FuG 16 ZY system, the 'Z' was for 'Ziel'. The instrument for this was the AFN2, with a vertical bar to indicate the general direction of the beacon being homed on, and a horizontal bar to indicate a rough distance from the beacon.
The Morane antenna and the wire antenna were part of the send-receive part of the radio that included integration of the 'Y' control system. The Morane antenna was the transmission antenna, and the wire antenna was the receiver antenna.
The above is from "Bordfunkgeraet FuG 16Z, ZS, ZE und ZY" of November 1944.
All the best,
George
