Broadcast is for 180 - 550 m. Text in the catalog: "6 tube AC-DC 2 band Superhet with the 25L8G "beam" power output. It features an illuminated, calibrated vernier dial, electro-dynamic speaker, front-of-panel band switch and built-in aerial. There is no Rider's schematic for the models. Automatic Volume Control. These models have a ballast tube K49C which we don't count as tube - but list it.
