Note

QST, Apr 1939, p. 4. QST, May 1939, p. 83. (how to use) QST, Jul 1939, p. 95. (DM-36A) Radio's Master 1942, page H-148. The DM-36 was a 5 and 10 meter converter designed to be used with the RME-70 receiver. It extended the companion receiver’s coverage to 5 meters and gave improved performance and image rejection on 10 meters. The converter’s output frequency was 10 MHz. The DM-36 pictured is a stand-alone unit; it also was available built into an expanded RME-70 cabinet. The DM-36A is the same but is designed for use with an AM broadcast radio.
