Ron,

I doubt that set was available in Britain. According to Wikipedia (I'll do some more research on this) FM broadcasting was not introduced in the UK until 1955. However, the BBC would have been conducting tests, and would have wanted to evaluate how their signals would be received on consumer grade radio sets. In browsing the archives, I have found several receiver reviews including domestic and professional communications equipment.

I think I'll be downloading a selection of these for vacation reading. (Where's that nerd emoticon Icon_smile )

Cheers

Ed
