The Germans used a bunch of different aerial configurations on the FuSpr sets, which were also fitted to a number of other reconnaissance and command vehicles. The early ones had this enormous bedspring-looking thing (imaginatively nicknamed die Bettfeder, "the bedspring") that tended to attract a lot of unwanted attention. However...

... by the time they were up to the "f" revision, as used in the Luchs, they'd gone to a 2-meter-long whip antenna, which was shared with the FuG 12 set. That configuration is clearly visible in this video, and I assume is the way Miho's is set up.

I've also seen a picture of model kit box art showing a Luchs with a really weird antenna like an inverted music stand, but I don't know nearly enough about 1940s radio technology to know what the advantage of a system like that would be.
