Charlie, it was a Globe Scout 40A. And it was a nice one. These shows do
not have a treasure trove, Last year I loaned one of my Heathkits to the
TV show White Collar on USA Network for the season finally of that
show. They told me they find stuff on the Internet from collectors like
myself, then return it.
Falling Skies is a good show, but like most the tech stuff is way off.

Apparently the WRL Globe Scout 65(think I had the model correct) was still a useful device in this sci-fi show. He was using the PA Tune control to tune it to some freq that would jam the comm link of a bunch of robots, perhaps the harmonic output was so great it came in useful for that function. It was a nice looking TX, they even had a close up of the plate meter and front panel where you could clearly see the WRL inscription. Wonder where they got it? Could there be a treasure trove of antique radio gear hiding in studio warehouses?
