  • National model SW-54 is an AC-DC operated multi-band superheterodyne receiver.
    coverage 540 kHz - 30 MHz, AM, CW (BFO).

    National introduced the SW-54 in late 1950 as a 1951 model.  It was advertised as "The Mighty Midget", covering broadcast and three shortwave bands. National's target was the low-end market, aimed at the shortwave listener and beginning ham radio operator for whom the 50 dollar price point was important. It did not have a real BFO stage but used regenerative IF as a substitute.  

    The set used mechanical "bandspread" with a 4 1/2 inch wide clear-plastic second knob with logging scale which was accessible on the right side of the cabinet. That larger knob was directly concentric with the tuning knob.

    The SW-54 carried a warning label that the chassis was directly connected to one side of the power line. It was UL approved since the hot chassis was separated from the cabinet by insulators. The control shafts for the bandswitch and volume control were separately mounted on an insulator which protected the user in case a knob came off.  The set also used an interlock connector that cut off the power if the back was removed to replace the tubes.
