[ARC5] WWII Navy Control Tower Radio

[Mike Everette]

Earlier on, someone said (I think) that the SX-32 was the "VHF version" of the SX-28.  That's not correct... the SX-32 is very much like the SX-28, except the 32 does not have the Lamb noise silencer and I think the AVC circuit is different in the 32.  Also the 32 doesn't have the bass-boost circuit in the audio, which the 28 does.  Frequency coverage of the 28 and 32 are the same.  The panels are very similar, and at first glance they look pretty much just alike.

SX-32s are rare.  A few years ago there was a rash of them on eBay, as there was of SX-23s; but they are few and far between now... just as the flood of SX-28s seems to be drying up these days.
