Three R1294 units were shipped to Australia from the UK to be used until more sophisticated Halicrafter equipment arrived from the USA. Less than 100 R1294s were built. They are a very rare item.
Vintern R32 (Vinten)
Hazeldine (USA) BC1421A, 100 to 150 MHz VHF tunable receiver. These were used post war by DCA as a monitor receiver.
