Hello,I am Dave G8EPR of BEWDLEY WORCS ENGLAND DY12 2HD
   The PYE Museum  collection started as early as 1973
  when Barry G4CTU took me up into BIRMINGHAM for each
  of us to buy a PYE CAMBRIDGE AM10D  AM DASH MOUNT PMR
  set.
   That evening I broke every dust core in the front end
  board and had a good cry in frustration over it.
   My first set of PF1 PYE Pocketphones was bought
  through the post from B Bambers of LITTLEPORT CAMBS.
   When they arrived I put in the rx a 9volt pp9 battery
  and the roar of a LION came from the speaker.
  YES it was xtalled on THE WEST MIDS SAFARI PARK FREQ
  1.5 miles away..AS I was a good LAW abiding RADIO 
  AMATEUR I immediatly re-xtalled it for 70cms!!!!

  I was told that in a north midlands town a young radio
  amateur had also bought a set of PF1 Pocketphones and
  re-xtalled them for the local 70cm repeater.
   He was walking in the town succesfully wrking through
  the repeater,when up drew a POLICE PANDA CAR. 
  The policeman listened to his explanation as to why 
  he was OPERATING POLICE RADIO EQUIPMENT IN THE STREET
  The Policeman confiscated the PF1,s saying that they
  were only made for the police by PYE, cause they were 
  all marked PF1 which means POLICE FORCE 1 .SO NO ONE 
  else can own them or use them,so the pair of PF1,s
  must have been stolen.
   Later that day,after the young radio amateur had told
  all the members of the local radio club.
   The local police station was visited by several of 
  the members carrying many pairs of PF1,s which they
  plonked on the desk and said to the sergent, you 
  better arrest us all and our police radios that we use
   Then after explanations of what PF1 really means the
  sets were released from police custody..

  Since then I have had great interest in PYE PMR RADIO
   During one of the last BELLEVUE RADIO SHOWS in 
  MANCHESTER, I came across a mint PYE PTC114-115 SET
  hidden under a table for sale for TEN Pounds.
  BY the time I had passed it by ten times,on the 
  elevneth time I went straight back to by it.
   IT HAD GONE.....
  After that I decided TO GO FOR IT.. and start a PYE
  MUSEUM COLLECTION.Which over the years has grown 
  somewhat into 2.5 Bedrooms,Dining/lounge and a large
  shed and garage and roof space etc....
   So now its time to go onto Internet with it.With
  digital pictures Taken by GM8AOB MARTIN of FORT
  WILLIAM. SCOTLAND. Who I thank very much.

  the help of RADIO AMATEURS SUCH AS:
