Hi Thomas,<\/p>\n

Here’s a screenshot (below) of a transceiver on a new sci-fi series “Silo”.<\/a><\/p>\n

This is from episode 3. Here’s a brief description of the show:<\/p>\n

In a ruined and toxic future, a community exists in a giant<\/em>
\nunderground silo that plunges hundreds of stories deep; there, people<\/em>
\nlive in a society full of regulations they believe are meant to<\/em>
\nprotect them.<\/em><\/p>\n

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

Does anybody recognize this radio? [click to enlarge image]<\/p>\n

– Bruce<\/p>\n

Oh wow, Bruce. I’m a massive fan of the SILO series by Hugh Howey–indeed, the Wool Omnibus<\/a> was the very first eBook I ever purchased! I’ve decided to re-read this series before watching it on Apple TV.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you can help Bruce identify this radio, please comment!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
