The '''No. 11 wireless set''' was a [[wireless]] [[radio]] used by the [[British Army]], during [[World War II]], having been designed in 1938 to replace the 1933 No. 1 unit.

The unit had an operational voice range of 15 miles, although the [[Long Range Desert Group]] used the radio to transmit [[Morse code|Morse]] in excess of 1,500 miles (a feat which was only possible at certain times of the day).
