American spy radio sets

During WWII, the US developed a range of spy radio sets, some of which were used in occupied Europe. In the years following WWII, the US deployed a wide range of spy radio sets, some of which were developed by, or in co-operation with, the CIA. They were used by Special Forces (SF) and for clandestine operations during the Cold War and in Vietnam. Some of these radio sets were also used by other (European) countries.
