QST, May 1961, p. 1. Allied Radio catalog 1962 (copyright 1961), p. 273. Allied Radio catalog 1963 (copyright 1962), p. 280. Allied Radio catalog 1964 (copyright 1963), p. 218. The SX-115 covered 80-10 meters in nine 500 kHz bands. The 18-tube receiver was triple-conversion with a crystal-con-trolled front end and a tunable first IF. The 50.75 kHz third IF's UC circuits provided five degrees of selectivity from 0.5 to 5 kHz. Frequency was calibrated in 1 kHz increments; $595.00, 1961. (14) Covers the HF ham bands in nine segments including four for ten meters, and one uncalibrated band for WWV. Built in crystal calibrator permits dial accuracy as good as ± 1 kHz. Gear drive tuning is virtually backlash free. Features include: S-meter, AVC ON/OFF, RF gain, ANL, mute line, antenna trimmer, notch, and 50 kHz IF Out Jack. Requires an external speaker. Coverage (MHz): 3.5-4.0 7.0-7.5 14.0-14.5 21.0-21.5 28.0-28.5 28.5-29.0 29.0-29.5 29.5-30.0 9.6-10 (not calibrated) IF: 1st 6005 to 6505 kHz, 2nd 1005 kHz, 3rd 50.75 kHz Modes: AM, CW, SSB Power: 125 VAC, 75 watts Tubes: (4) 6DC6, (2) 6BA7, (2) 12AT7, (1) 6CB6, (1) 6BA6, (1) 6BY6, (1) 6BJ7.
