The radio schedule is here, seen in a standard sized petri dish gives some idea of small size (for concealment).
For message reception Lonsdale's sched was the same as Kroger/Cohen's; the header would indicate recipient.

You sure about the transmitter? This is the one fielded by GCHQ. MI5 had another in less than good condition.

I found the display of Portland Spy Ring transmitter/receiver very disappointing; especially when GCHQ have an almost pristine example with its rapid keyer unit.

My eldest daughter now has a BYD EV. Very nice car, it records speech, your conversation appearing on screen. The card mentions emmissions (I'm a radio amateur) on the front. My daughter sees fit to add, inside, 'Like the BYD you're always listening!'

At National Archives, Kew. MI5 exhibition was very well done; however, one question is the staten of Kroger's transmitter/receiver. (Portland Spy Ring). Compare to other images from that held by GCHQ. No encryption device/burst sender device either. Wonder why?

An interesting 'talk.' A pint after at the station; 30m wait after missing train.
