A bit like a 405 line TV I had in 1971. Cabled remote with solenoid (just a next button, but maybe the Pye was bidirectional?) and wired volume.
Thanks.
Perhaps someone confused 70 MHz (4m) with 70 cm (0.7m 430 MHz)? The A200 certainly had a version that could be used on 70 MHz.
A quick search of A200 suggests:
EO: 68-88MHz,
M1: 105-108 MHz,
BO: 132-156MHz, and
AO: 148-174 MHz.
I'd have bet it's Class C / FM only but a search tells me it's a linear amp, so can do AM (no doubt 1/4 power) or SSB. Yet doesn't do Air band. The AO would have suited Marine?
So EO model for 4m and BO (and maybe AO) for 2m.
I remember when the UK had land mobile on upper Band II, so I'm getting old. Actually I remember TV before there was 625 lines in the UK, though other countries had 625 lines before I was born.
Thanks.
