General Notes

Note

Radio, Sep 1934, p. 30. QST, Dec 1934, p. 99. Also see QST, May 1935, pp. 21-28. Regular model: 15–550 meters. Marine model: 15–1500 meters. Sargent’s eight-tube receiver tuned from .55–21 MHz in four bands with main and band-spread tuning across the range. A special marine version of the 8-34, with coverage down to 200 kHz, was also offered. The band-switching preselector matched E. M. Sargent’s 8-34 receiver and improved the set’s performance on the higher frequencies.
