Radio he's retuned in old country (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rhodesia

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'old country' is the definition.
(former country)

'radio he's retuned' is the wordplay.
'radio he's' anagrams to 'RHODESIA'.
Though, I am unsure how the anagram is indicated.

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rhodesia that I've seen before include "Old state" , "Zimbabwe, formerly" , "former state" , "place once overseen by Smith" , "Salisbury was its capital" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
