- British Mk V — La Paracette
This is the first British spy radio set dropped by parachute over occupied
France in 1941, which is why the French nicknamed it Le Paraset or
La Paracette [1][2]. It was used by the SIS (MI6), SOE,
BCRAM and by several European resistance organisations, such as the OD.
- British Mk VII — Paraset
This spy radio set was introduced in late 1942 and is commonly known by
collectors and amateur radio operators as the Paraset. The name was
probably introduced in 1972 by Pierre Lorain in his book
Secret Warfare [3],
and might be based on incorrect assumptions.
It was used by the SIS (MI6) and several others, but not by the SOE.
- Belgian RST-101 — Paraset
This post-war miniature spy radio transceiver was made in 1958 by
Philips
subsidary MBLE in Belgium, for use by the
Belgian Cold War
stay-behind organisation
SDRA-8
and by the Belgian
Special Forces — Equipes Speciales de Reconnaissance (ESR).
The name Paraset is mentioned in the original manual and refers to the
use by parachutists (Paras).
