• The Nordmende Sterling Kadett is an Export model. The scale shows that it was mainly made for the USA (see the two pictograms on the broadcast band for a special service in case of problems). The short wave band covers the 16, 19, 25, 31, 41 and 49 m band. It is a rather simple receiver with a solid state rectifier.
