Antennen (Antennas)
The SEM system has a number of antennas. The portable SEM 35 is used as
a man pack with either a short tape antenna, or a longer sectional whip.
If the SEM 35 is mounted on it's own mounting, it uses the same antenna
configurations as the SEM 25 system.
As the original SEM 35 antenna's were in short supply in surplus, several
traders developed a trick to be able to offer antenna's: they took the
AT-272A/PRC antenna - tape antenna and it's flexible mount - and fitted
this with a bolt fitting the SEM 35 antenna connector. It works. But it
is not original.
The vehicular SEM 25 can be used with a Antenne-Fahrzeugbetrieb
SEM 25 (Vehicular Antenna).
The SEM 25 also can be used with the Antenne-Standbetrieb
SEM 25/35
(Fixed Antenna).
The receiver only EM 25 has no separate antenna in the schematics found until
now - it hooks up to an extra connector on the Antennen-Abstimgerät
(Antenna
Tuner) that is part of all SEM 25 antenna configurations.
In all configurations except for the man pack SEM 35 they share the
same antenna tuner, that must be adjusted for every MHz. using the Antenna Tuner Test Set. The tuner is controlled
by the transceiver through a special control cable, adjusting itself for
each frequency used.
Antenne-Fahrzeugbetrieb SEM
25 (Vehicular Antenna) Vers.-Nr. 5820-12-139-5229
This consist of the well known combination of Mast Sections MS-116, MS-117 and MS-118, combined with a standard MP-50
or MP-65 Mast Base.
The system uses the vehicle as counterpoise.
This antenna is hooked up to the radio through the Antennen-Abstimgerät
(Antenna Tuner).
I suppose there should be a carrying bag for the Mast Sections and
actually have seen a number of candidates - but up to now the official
documentation has not yielded any positive identification.
Antenne-Standbetrieb SEM 25/35
(Fixed
Antenna) Vers.-Nr. 5820-12-149-2543
A complete system, using it's own counterpoise. Cables measure
10 meters, so the antenna can be elevated.
The system comes in three cotton duck bags, holding the cables, the
mast sections and the antenna base combined with the antenna tuner respectively.
The antenna tuner is mounted within a protecting housing, keeping out
direct rain.
The complete set-up has three long radials, each consisting of two MS-116, one MS-117 and
one MS-118. The vertical then would comprise of one MS-116, one MS-117 and one MS-118.

Antenne Kabel Tragetasche (Antenna
Cables Carrying Bag) Vers.-Nr. 5820-12-150-0310
Cotton duck, webbing carrying handle, closed with two aluminium
buckles.
It holds three cables measuring 10 meters each: ground, signal and
tuner control. Of these signal and tuner control are clipped together with
small metal and rubber clips - these seem to be prone to loosing and can
be found replaced by duct tape.
Some 70 centimetres from the female connector 10 of the cable assembly
there is a heavy clamp, holding both cables together with a 30 centimetre lanyard attached to it,
ending in a heavy karabiner hook. This is meant
to be clicked on the antenna assembly as a strain relief. Some 10 centimetres beyond this clamp there is a second one, that seems to be
meant to loop
the cables back unto themselves in order to stop water running down.
Massenkabel (Ground cable) Vers.-Nr. 5995-12-156-9122
Two clamps on each side, to insure ground connection. A wing nut is provided on the antenna assembly, connection on the side of the transceiver

EM 25 has no tuning control - it is always combined with a
tuner connected to a transceiver that has a tuning control.Originally the tuner is mounted on it's own Schwingmetallrahmen (shock mount)
- mostly missing in surplus. Nomenclature and further data of this shock mount unknown. No electronics inside this
shock mount.
