Ameco catalog #5, 1967 Model CMA is a crystal controlled, transistor, all band converter that covers all bands from 160 through 2 meters (1.7 Mc. to 54 Mc. and 108 Mc. to 174 Mc.). The output of Model CMA can be fed to a standard broadcast set or to any communications receiver up to 30 Mc. It can be used for mobile or fixed operation. The CMA has better than 1.0 uV sensitivity. It can be operated from an internal battery or from the 12 volt car battery with the Ameco BS-9 adapter. It has a tuned RF stage, tuned by the dial on the panel, to obtain best image and spurious rejection. Up to ten crystals can be selected by the band switch on the panel.
