The first radio antenna used to identify an astronomical radio source was one

built by Karl Jansky, an engineer with Bell Telephone Laboratories, in 1931.

Jansky was assigned the job of identifying sources of static that might interfere

with radio telephone service.

No. A radio telescope is always a reflecting telescope; the wire mesh in the dish is opaque and reflective at radio frequencies. The parabolic dish reflects all of the radio waves back to the feed horn, which is at (or near) the focus of the parabola.

Did Einstein create the first telescope?

No. The first telescopes were made by Hans Lippershey and Zacharias Janssen in 1608. Galileo improved their design and made the first astronomical telescope by 1609. In 1611 Kepler improved the telescope further and in 1616 Zucchi designed the first reflecting telescope. The first radio telescope was made by Reber in 1937. So, as you can see the first telescope was made several hundred years before Einstein.
