Unusual Receiver

I picked up this receiver at a local radio rally a few weeks back.  It is an RX80. It was made from a kit Featured in the RSGB magazine "Radcom" in 1981. It is amateur bands only but since it has a digital frequency readout I suppose it was quite advanced for its time. I have never seen one before and as you can see below this is a working example although the WARC bands (10 18 and 24 mhz )dont seem to function.

Radio Caroline

Radio Caroline seem to be testing their 648 Khz transmitter again. Good signal here in daylight hours in South Wales .
