I presume you're familiar with rec.radio.amateur.boatanchors ;-)
That I am. I haven't been reading it lately since the signal to noise
ratio (all the epay ads) got to be too much trouble to filter.
I wasn't
able to find out all that much about the 'CS', other than it
seems to have been made between 1945 and 1946.
Raymond S. Moore's book agrees with the dates and says it's the same
as the NC-2-40C but with frequencies 0.2 to 0.4 and 1 to 30 MHz
instead of 0.49 to 30 MHz.
Thanks for the verification. That book sounds like one I should add to my
library, although it looks to be out of print. Do you have any ideas as to
why National chose to produce two very similar models with different
frequency ranges? Perhaps the CS was just an "improved", next-generation
model?
