I believe the T/Os with the FM multiplex decoder were the Royal 7000 series of the late 1970s, before Zenith discontinued the Transoceanic sets altogether. There was a prototype model, the Royal 8000, that never went into production. It supposedly had a digital frequency readout and may have been equipped for stereo FM as well.
