I would say probably not, as I don't think they offer the UK40 channels.

What you get is 40 mid band channels as well as 40 channels low band and 40 channels High, but with only AM and FM

The mid band is often active with AM and FM stations, but other than that you will struggle to find anyone to talk with. Hi band is useless without SSB, and Low band is only really used by eastern European and German stations.

You might be better off either finding a UK40/Mid band radio, or getting something that does all the bands and offers SSB

if it hasnt been modded on hi band it will be off frequency for the uk channels plus without super hi and a 10kc shift you wouldn't get all the uk channels. its ok as a retro radio but you would be beter of with a newer set .
I have the colt 444 which is the same radio did the mod to shift the frequency on hi band works ok for what it is
