- Notes
-
The SX-190 and its AX-190 ham counterpart were offered from late 1971 to 1973. These were highly rated when introduced, considered the best-ever Allied receivers. They are still considered excellent analog-tuned receivers. Frequency read-out is quite good. A dial reading of zero to 500 is the value in kilohertz to be added to each band-switched frequency setting. The crystals for each band are at first IF plus the base frequency of interest. Both the SX-190 and the AX-190 cover the 80, 40, and 20 meter ham bands, 11 meter CB, and WWV at 15 MHz in the 19 meter band. The SX-190 also covers the 49, 31, 25 and 16 meter shortwave bands while the AX-190 covers the 15 meter ham band and four segments of the 10 meter ham band. This receiver is nearly identical to the Realistic SX-190 and similar to the Realistic DX-190. Contains 4 FETS, 22 transistors.
