As a radio, it was an interesting foray into studying 1940 state-of-the-art as well as quite impressive-looking. But compared to even early postwar designs, the set simply fell flat on its face at around 100 Mhz---not particularly sensitive, poor image rejection, and either too broad on AM or too narrow on FM. As I recall, that set ended up (with an early stereo converter) in the lobby of a non-com classical station as a lobby monitor. Hank Wow, great account! I never had much test equipment so simply tuned to a weak signal and tweaked "by ear" as best as possible. As to working on transmitters, we always joked: Tune for minimum smoke! "Minimum"? You'll never work any DX doing that! -- Ian |
