val Posted March 20, 2019 Author Share Posted March 20, 2019 Pierre, that disc shaped antenna seems to be specific only to those SE499A sets exported to Austria, no other sets have this. That's make this antenna unique. I'd like to see any picture of some surviving antenna, if possible - maybe someone you know has it, Pierre? Can you ask, please? This is the second photo ever i see this antenna. First photo was in Radiobote. https://nonstopsystems.com/radio/pdf-hell/article-radiobote-thote-4-19.pdf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funksammler Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 I assume this query was inspired by Werner's quest for information on the Austrian SE499 in which I am already involved. I am trying to find the detailed information for a reconstruction of the "Austrian" antenna type as I currently have the incorrect "export" type. There were a number of variations of the SE499 and it's battery box and at least three different antenna types used making it difficult to pin down exactly which subtype was used by the Austrian army. It is ongoing research with the usual snippets of information forming pieces of a puzzle, so any information is welcome. The above picture (which I had forgotten about) gives some tantalising clues already, so thanks for posting that. The search is still on for more period pictures of the SE499 in Austrian/German use to confirm a number of details. regards, Funksammler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
