For those who were unable to afford a Shorrock or Gauers one budding entrepreneur modified a radio kit to receive aircraft transmissions. Pat Carty marketed the radio in Air Pictorial during 1964 as the first aircraft enthusiast assembled radio and called it the “PC 1ABR” for £6-£8. Pat would be very interested to hear from anyone who bought this radio or even still owns one! email patcarty2@aol.com
