Switzerland partly imported the BC-611, partly built it itself, and called it:

   Kleinfunk-Gerät Fox "SE-100"

It is not mentioned what of the 5 versions of the SCR-536/BC-611 was used as a model, or if several versions of the SCR-536/BC-611 were used or rebulit under "Kleinfunk-Gerät Fox".
The optical difference are the smaller mouth- and earpieces, compared to the BC-611.

Here you find a link to the SCR-536/BC-611.

My fellow collector Ted kindly provided the pictures of the Fox and the test set.
The test set is a replica of the American signal generator "Test Unit I-135", with a more modern look (round edges, brighter colors):

Special features:

  • The radio is switched on/off by pullung out / sliding in the callapsible antenna.
  • There is no vloume control.
  • There is no squelch.
