Definitely a "long distance portable" then! Makes sense if you were going to take it on your travels through the coverage zones of different transmitters, I suppose, giving you the best of both worlds: presets at home, searchability on the road.

Thinking back to caravans as per my other thread, my Grandad eventually sold his little one and bought a static caravan sited near Barmouth, on the pretty Snowdonia coast. That had a Philips mono telly with 6 channel presets that pushed down rather than in. Sometimes he and my Nan would take their colour set over to Wales. It did not need to be re-tuned from Sutton Coldfield to the local transmitter, though BBC1 and ITV would swap places!
