In times of war, spies, agents and the resistance would use such secret communication to contact their home office or government and pass their 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 in this section was also used by secret agents, special forces, embassies, resistance groups, stay-behind organisations and others. However, as it has become a popular expression, we call all of them Spy Sets here. 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. We only describe sets that we have in our own collection, or that we've been able to research. That said, we do show a rather representative cross-section of the many different spy radios out there, and we try to describe them to the best of our abilities and supply as much background information as we can. For a complete list of the spy sets covered on this website, please check our index, follow any of the links below (by clicking on the thumbnails) or use the yellow navigation buttons on the left.  Index of spy sets  Glossary    If you can provide additional information on certain items, please do not hesitate to contact us.
