  • Notes

  • The Tobe Amateur Receiver Model H covers the 20, 40, 80, and 160 meter amateur bands. 

    In Communications Receivers (4th ed. pg. 135), Moore speculates that the Tobe Amateur Receiver was the first "ham band only" receiver.  While this may be up for debate, it certainly is one of the earliest super-hets with internal bandswitching coils for amateur only bands.
