- Notes
- Philco model 2620 is an export version of the domestic model 620. Like some other export models, this one substitues a long wave band in place of one of the domestic model's two short wave bands. Coverage of the 2620 is 145-350 kHz, BC, and 5.7-18 MHz. Tubes marked with the -E suffix are ruggedized tubes for harsh environments.
A similar model 37-2620 was introduced in 1936, the chassis updated with octal tubes.
