General Notes

Note

Radio, Jul 1942, p. 3. QST, Aug 1942, p. 1. Probably the first panoramic adapter on the market. An article describing the technology can be found in Radio magazine, Mar 1942, several months before Hallicrafters announced the S-35. The Radio magazine article appears to be the first reference to the technique of panoramic reception. Provides a visual presentation of band activity up to 100 kHz wide. Rack mountable. The S-35 is virtually always shown with the SX-28, but the two units were sold separately, and the S-35 will work with any receiver with an IF of 455 kHz. Power: 120 VAC Tubes (14 total): (1) 5AP1 CRT, (1) VR-105, (1) VR-150 (1) 80, (1) 2X2, (1) 6SG7, (1) 6SK7, (1) 6SA7, (1) 6J5, (1) 6SQ7, (1) 6SC7, (1) 6SN7, (1) 6SJ7, (1) 6AC7 References "Panomramic Reception." Radio News, Mar 1944, p. 35.
