A lot of receivers of "that era" are single conversion 3.5-4.0 MHz
receivers with a "converter stage" ahead of them to move the "other"
bands down to 3.5-4.0 MHz.

Almost all of them have a 455 KHz IF strip.

So, does that mean the single conversion SX-42 is not as good as the
double conversion SX-43 ?

If I'm not mistaken, aren't they both single conversion across the HF
bands? I think the 43 goes double conv (10.7 Mc 2nd IF) above 44 Mcs
and the SX-42 only uses the 10.7 on the FM band....or something like that.
