This radio almost qualifies as a 'General Coverage Communications Receiver' with that many bands but, alas, it's a standard 4 valve domestic set-up - without an illuminated tuning scale!

This set is almost identical to the Pye 1101/A - I suspect the Pye is a re-badged Ekco (or the other way around!).
