AFAIK, all Continental European Radios had their dials marked in Kilocycles (later Kiloherz), as presumably did other countries besides the USA & Canada. It always struck me a a little odd, that the only metric measurements in common use in the UK were Metres on Radio dials, and Litres for vehicle engine capacity. Another anomaly was that, when VHF broadcasting started we 'joined the majority' in marking dials with the frequencies involved, rather than 2.8 to 3.4 Metres.
