Just Bagged Me a PCR.

[Skywave]

. . . the 'PTR' - a variant communications receiver similar to the original PCR receiver, but which was fitted with a BFO valve stage and other circuit features making it suitable for both speech and CW (Morse code) reception.

Amazing what you learn here, innit? After all these years of fiddling around with various comms. receivers, I've never heard of a 'PTR' receiver, let alone as a variant to the PCR. I've always been led to believe that the abbreviation 'PCR' stood for 'Personal Communications Receiver'. On that basis, anyone know what the abbreviation 'PTR' stood for?
