Receiver Radio 24A M U R. any info
I have been asked to find information for the above receiver. Friend has no internet, so no photo but a control knob shows the following functions. From anticlockwise, " off, batt V, batt check, DC, check noise, measure noise, low sense ". Set covers 100 to 220 MHz and has eleven valves and Murata coils inside. I hope I have this information correct, as it was over our 80m qso. I searched this forum and the internet but didn't find it.
stay safe and regards, Cliff. |

Nothing immediately on Google, is this a GPO interference monitoring receiver?

Re: Receiver Radio 24A M U R. any info
Bill, thank you for your time, having a look.
Lawrence, well done, you must have other ways of doing things. So, I spoke with Fred this morning and he is pleased with how far we have been able to go. He is currently building a power unit to fit into the battery compartment. My thinking is that it is from Eddystone but does not show up on their forum site. thanks to all, stay safe & regards, Cliff. |

Not made by Eddystone but might have been the predecessor of the Eddystone 31A which was made by Eddystone under licence from the Post Office. Hatfield Instruments made a similar measurement receiver for PO under licence, but for HF, which is often confused as Eddystone. Chris G0EYO

Re: Receiver Radio 24A M U R. any info
Hello Chris, Thank you for the comment. Yes, does not seem to be Eddystone and nothing showing up for Hatfield, that I can find. The front plate shows M U R. which neither he nor I can understand. It's that single dot. Oh, and yes he has an Eddystone 31A as well.
thank you, stay safe and regards, Cliff. |

I notice Ben Nock G4BXD has one of the radios shown in the article at his military museum in Kidderminster which he was unable to identify a few years back. Photos are on the Eddystone groups.io forum. Chris G0EYO.

Re: Receiver Radio 24A M U R. any info
Hello Bill, thank you for Muirhead suggestion. I'm not getting anything for it, when searching, yet.
Chris, Oh my word, what a collection. I spent ages going through Ben's items, I wish Fred could get to visit. thanks again to both of you for your help. Cliff. |
