• Notes

• The RCA 7-BX-10 Strato-World II is an AC/DC/Battery operated 5 tube portable BC and SW band receiver.  Has 6 SW bands.  The SW bands use a telescopic antenna.  A loop antenna is built into the lid of the radio, with this loop antenna having a plug that is inserted into the chassis.  An external antenna may be connected to the radio when using the internal loop antenna.  A ferrite rod antenna was also supplied with the radio and could be plugged into the chassis in place of the internal loop antenna. A headphone jack was provided which disconnected the speaker for private listening. Uses ballast tube 50A1 and also has a selenium rectifier.

  
  The band frequency tuning ranges are as follows:
  A: 540 - 1600 kHz,
  B: 2.0 - 4.0 MHz,
  C: 4.0 - 8.0 MHz,
  31 M: 9.45 - 9.85 MHz,
  25 M: 11.55 - 12.05 MHz,
  19 M: 14.90 - 15.50 MHz,
  16 M: 17.50 - 18.20 MHz;

  20 W power consumption, 230 V operation with optional RCA RK-186 convertor.
