PM>Well, over here not all that many amateurs are familiar with the
PM>brand name, although it is pretty renowned in the states.

Hello Peter,

Well, I'm not in the states but I know the american brand names very
well.

Hallicrafters, Hammarlund, Collins, Drake, Swan, Eldico, National and
of course Central Electronics that was AFAIR the first company that to
market commercially built SingleSideBand (SSB) transmitters 10A, 20B
and later the 100V and a receiver adapter named SideBand Slicer.

PM>Would you have heard of a Kingsley AR7?  Maybe not, it is a famous
PM>Australian communications receiver, very similar to the HRO in
PM>appearance with plug in coil boxes. It is more attractive than the
PM>HRO as it has a nickel plated front panel.

There are many copies of the HRO around. "HRO's" were even manufactured
in Finland during and after WWII.
