How strange. All my "old" domestic sets have the long and medium wavebands marked in metres, with not a frequency in sight, apart from dual marked short wave bands. It was a long time before we were "conned" into using kHz etc. I remember BBC Radio 1 being first on 247 metres then on 275 and 285 metres.

You'd honestly like a set with wavelengths in feet or yards?
"This is the BBC Light Programme on 1635 yards".
