The Panzer IV J command variant was produced after March 1944. This variant was modified by removing 15 rounds of 75 mm main gun ammunition and installing a new radio system, which included cables, transformers, and junction boxes. A GG400 auxiliary power generator was also installed. The Fu 8 (medium wave receiver) and Fu 5 (ultra-short-wave receiver) were the new radio sets. A Sternantenne D (Star aerial) for the Fu 8 was installed on the rear of the hull, while the conventional 2-meter antenna for the Fu 5 was installed on the roof of the turret in place of the Nahverteidigungswaffe. There was also a T.S.R.1 observation periscope and an SF14Z periscope scissor attached. The SF14Z could be installed inside the cupola, where the commander could see the battlefield through the open hatch. The T.S.R.1 was a long stick periscope located on the turret roof near the commander's cupola that could be extended via a pivoting support. Each of these radios required its own antenna: the FuG 8 had a star aerial in the tank's right rear, the FuG 5 had a 2-meter rod aerial on the turret top, and the FuG 7 had a 1.4-meter aerial in the tank's rear left. Only 17 Panzerbef IV J tanks were manufactured from scratch, while the remaining 88 were modified from pre-existing [[Pz.IV J|Panzer IV J]] tanks.  </div></td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="color:black; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #a3d3ff; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div>The '''<ins class="diffchange diffchange-inline">{{Annotation|Pz.Bef.Wg.
