[MRCG] World War 2 Mobile German DF units?

Hi Guys,

I am about to write a piece on current direction finding in the cellular 
industry (specifically tracking down sources of interference) and would 
like to do a historical tie-in with the mobile DF units used by the 
Gestapo, Wehrmacht, or Luftwaffe to track down British and OSS agents 
when they were transmitting. Presumably they would have had fixed units 
to get precise bearing initially, but I would think at some point they'd 
be reduced to going street to street with mobile units to close in on 
the unfortunate agents.

Can anyone point me in a good direction for info on the trucks and 
equipment used? SO far my Google Fu has been weak and I've come up with 
only a reference to the Funkpeilwagen used by the Luftwaffe.

Thanks in advance,

Bob W1ICW
