In the 1950s, of course, there was much discussion about "VHF" sound broadcasting being introduced in the UK - there was at least one proposal (by Pye) for this to use AM!

I'm wondering if perhaps your GF bought this radio in the hope that he could push it up to 90-odd MHz and receive the new broadcasts when they arrived?
