OK, I considered it:  The Swan was a ten-meter transceiver that received on 11-meters. My K3 receives the BC band to 30 Mhz, including the CB band. So what?

I once owned a KWM-1 that was removed from a B-47. (Likely one that had been overflying the Soviet Union)  It tuned and transmitted anywhere between 14 and 30 MHz given the correct crystal plugged into a removable box on the front panel.

I believe that rig has been mentioned before in this thread as a milestone radio.  Should we did up Art Collins and chastise him?
