Spy Radio Sets
Ever since the invention of radio, people have been trying to use transmitters and receivers for secret communiation. In times of war, spies, agents and resistance people would use such secret communication to contact their office or government and pass important messages. Such secret communication systems are often called Spy Radio Sets, or Spy Sets for short.
 
We are well aware, that the term Spy Sets is not always correct. The equipment described here was also used by secret agents, special forces, embassies, resistance groups, stay-behind organisations and others. However, as it has become a popular expression over the years, we will call it Spy Sets.

Please note that we are not trying to give a complete overview of all spy radio sets that have ever been used in the world. Only the sets that we have in our own collection, or that we've been able to research extensively, are highlighted here. That said, we do show a rather representative cross-section of the many different spy radios out there, and we try to give as much background information as possible.

For a complete list of spy sets covered on this website, check our index, follow any of the links below or use the navigation buttons on the left.

If you can provide additional information on certain items, please not not hestitate to contact us. It you have any surplus documentation or equipment, please check our wanted page or contact us directly. We are always intersted in expanding the collection.
