  • Notes

  • Adaband shortwave converters were designed to enhance the reception capabilities of existing long and medium-wave radios by adding shortwave bands. These units, available in both AC/DC mains and battery-powered versions. They offered simple installation, allowing continuous use of the original radio for long and medium wave reception without disconnection. 

    Adaband Mains (AC) Model
    The Adaband Mains Model operates on AC power and covers the shortwave band from 13 to 74 meters. Its installation is straightforward and doesn't interfere with the original radio's ability to receive long and medium-wave stations. This unit is controlled by a single tuning knob and comes in a durable, aesthetically pleasing walnut-veneered cabinet.

    Priced at £6 12s 6d.
