To what extent were Luftwaffe planes equipped with radios?

[HistoryGeek2019]

I've read of many instances where Luftwaffe planes were unable to be recalled (e.g., Rotterdam and Adlertag). Did the Luftwaffe not have radios that could communicate with the ground? What about with other planes? How did this vary by type of plane (e.g., fighter, bomber, etc.)? Would radios that could communicate with the ground have been prohibitively heavy?
The night fighters must have been able to communicate with the ground because they were guided to their targets by ground based radar.

There is a list of airborne communication equipment here, which might help.

The British jammed the system - Airborne Cigar. The Americans also, but I don't have a name for their equipment.

Wireless communications is a greatly under estimated and under researched subject. There are plenty of members of this forum who could provide the minutest detail; about the armament and effects of tank or aircraft weaponry,. How many could, hand on heart, the frequency range, printed and actual range of the wireless equipment or the effect of different aerials?

There were problems co-ordinating bomber and escorting fighters. Not just to allow them to speak to each other, but to manage the formation of bombers and formation of fighters AND co-ordinate the two.
