Just to add to what Mike as already pointed out, Hallicrafters did a dual mains voltage version of the SX28, according to Henry Rogers (Stateside) it is usually refered to as the SX28(U) for universal maybe. 115/230v AC. so I would say intened for supply to over hear during WW2. I have an old scrap chassis for one of the U versions and an old large size coax socket had been fitted for the antenna input connection, wether done by amature or military I can not say for sure.
I was led to believe that the S27 and similar variants were used by the airforce, something to do with detecting enemy radar/guidence beams ? because of its VHF/UHF coverage, I am only guessing hear, perhaps somebody knows or can add to that ?
Also was the Collins TCS series ever fitted to UK fighting forces ie: ships,, aircraft, land based etc ?
Lots of questions I know but there is still a lot to learn about this stuff.
