  • All Wave Double "Forty Nine"

    This set is the second of the "49 Famlly" which we have described, the first, "The Hiker's One," being put on the market in 1937. It met with amazing success and is still one of the "best sellers." This two-valve all-wave model is a little more advanced, and, with plug-in coils, covers from 20 to 500 metres. On test, no difficulty was experienced in receiving Daventry, Zeesen, Paris, Sydney, and Melbourne on short wave, as well as amateurs on the 80-metre band at good headphone strength, whilst the "locals", on broadcast, successfully operated a speaker.
