\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Last week, I picked up the first season DVDs for the TV science fiction series “V”<\/a> at our local library. I somehow missed this series when it was first produced in 2009–however, I do remember clearly the original 1984 series<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the second half of the first season, a small group of resistance fighters created a makeshift basement headquarters for their operations. In many of the scenes, the camera would pan over a table with a compter (or laptop) and two radios. Both rigs appear to be transceivers or transmitters.\u00a0\"\"<\/a>Can anyone ID these sets?\u00a0 Please comment!<\/p>\n
