We should not get too side tracked, but this is an interesting discussion.
I wuld concede that the german set mentioned by Soren is a good one, but I do draw issue that it was the best by far.
I never said, incidentally that the british were ahead in all fields of radio, simply that their research during the war was ahead of the germans, regarding VHF technologies, because of their developments various conductors, and some other areas that I have since forgotten. Evidence of that can be found in their "larkspur" series of transceivers, which I consider to be years ahead of anything else in that genre. However these high quality transceivers wqere not introduced until after the war, for reasons of economy and time, which I have previously alluded to.
But returning to the issue of the German equipment versus the Allied equipment. I think firstly I should provide some information that I do have.
Here are the links to firstly, the British military radios of the period. Britain did not convert to VHF frequencies until postwar, so their short range radio equipment was not as good as the germans during the war. However, HF is superior to VHF over longer distances, and in this area I believe the British held an advantage.
Anyway here is the best link I know of that summarises the British transceivers of the period....
Wireless Sets. List of technical data on vintage British Army Wireless Sets.
The other piece of information that I have is the TM-11-242, which is the instruction manual for the chief US man-portable set of the war (and most comparable to the german equipment. This is the link for you to have a look at

I dont see any great advantage for the german equipment in this comparison. The German set was a 1 watt transmitter (very powerful) operating in AM frequency with an output of 33.8 mhz thru to 38.0 mhz frequency. The frequency is important because the shorter the wavelength, the clearer the signal. However the fact that it operated in the AM mode must have affected its clarity to a degree. How much I dont know. It weighed 17.2 Kg, or about 38 lbs.
By comparison, the SCR 300 were only a 0.3 watt output, but has a sensitve receiver capability at only 0.2 milliwatts.....meaning it could receive quite weak signals. The US equipment operated in the FM band, with an out put of 40-48 Mhz. To be honest I dont know which set would be clearer, each one has advantages and disadvanatages. The US set was lighter than the German equipment at 33.2 lbs (although this could go up to 38 lbs if a heavier battery was used....generally the lighter weight battery was used in Infantry formations.
Make of this what you will, but I dont see any clearcut advantage for the German equipment. I know also that the British became worls leaders in the postwar era, up until the '70s and were not using German derived technology
