You do know you're talking with a Signal/One designer, right?


Yes but in this case, he's wrong.

I said:

I've seen picture of a Signal/One "receiver" in a book on receivers.
It was a prototype, maybe a mock up and never saw production.

Never even a consideration much less a prototype or mockup. Somebody

I believe that I saw it in Fred Osterman's "Shortwave Receivers,
Past and Present."

A picture in Osterman's book or some other book does not mean
that one of the several entities that called itself "Signal/One"
actually made that receiver. It does mean that what I wrote was
accurate.

I have seen a picture of a Signal/One "receiver" in a book on
receivers. Exactly what that picture represents is an unknown. It
might have been a prototype (probably not, otherwise 4ZCB would
know about it).

It might have been a mockup done by the advertising folk
(possible, lots happens that not everyone knows about. Also, that
was 30 years ago. Memories fade before photographs.)

It was not what 4ZCB suggests but does not precisely state, that
some web-weenee photoshopped it up. That is exactly what that
picture is not.

So. The mystery remains.

I've been busy but still hope to get my CX7A working this year.
