For changing of wavebands, plug-in "coil units" have to be put in place inside the receiver. A hinged cover gives access to the chassis of the receiver, the shielded coil units (aerial, mixer and oscillator coils) are plugged in on top of the chassis.
The band segments are as follows:
Range A: 22000 - 31000 kHz
Range B*: 9000 - 22000 kHz
Range C*: 4500 - 9000 kHz
Range D*: 2100 - 4500 kHz
Range E*: 1250 - 2100 kHz
Range F: 600 - 1250 kHz
Range G: 300 - 600 kHz
Range H: 150 - 300 kHz
Range I: 90 - 150 kHz
Range J: 40 - 90 kHz
The set has a calibrated dial only for band segments B, C, D, E, for the other band segments, the operator has to rely on the 0 - 100 logging scale and prepare his own wavelength chart.

these are the tube substitutes according to a manual for the 358x found at BAMA:


hope that helps mb (edit: Graphic mit verbesserter Lesbarkeit, danke GR)
