  • Wavebands are; 16.5 - 51m, 200 - 555m, 800 - 2000m. Cathode Ray tuning indicator. Automatic volume control on 3 H.F. stages.

    It is believed that the details in the image from Houghtons catalogue are incorrect in several ways: False wavebands given; 16.5 - 50m, 49 - 150m, 850 - 2000m instead of the ones above; false IF of 456 kHz instead of 460; false rectifier given UU4020 should be U4020.

    Please also see RGD 516 AC for the AC only model.
