Well that might have been the case were it not for them all having been bought up.
In the early days of WW2 the Y stations were being supplied with HROs purchased by business executives visiting the USA, who were told to do this because the US wasn't wanting to get involved in the war at that time.
The Hallicrafters S-27 was given the designation of R1198 by the Air Ministry, and 9 other models that I know of have AM numbers. Other ham sets were also used by the UK military it seems.
