  • Notes
  • This is the export version of the CN379 and differs only in scale markings. If it has UK domestic stations it's a CN379 or CN392.

    The CN392 is also the same, but showing "Copenhagen plan" station wavelengths.

    From 1950 the DL94 is used instead of  3V4, early models may use all Brimar / US designation types and later models the Dx9x types
