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.
