• Coverage: 0.55 - 2, 2.2 - 7, 8 - 30 MHz, AM/CW, ANL, speaker suspended under the top-panel, bandspread, the EC-1B is nearly identical to model EC-1A. Both are updated versions of the EC-1, the EC-1A uses the more conventional and more expensive dual-control variable capacitor. An early ad for the EC-1A in the January 1946 Radio News features Hogarth (see the EC-1) dreaming about it. The Hallicrafters S-41G (gray) and S-41W (white) are electrically and mechanically identical to the EC-1A with the main differences being color and knob style and were produced in 1945 just prior to the introduction of the S38 .
  Also sold as Paramount EC-1A.
