[GreenKeys] Re: Early Mobile Telephone and associated equipment

[Mark Foltarz]

There were several TVs of that vintage that had continuous coverage tuners.
I had a Dumont Chatam and a R-52 I believe, as well as a Crosley that could tune right through the tv lo & hi bands. 
Infact, the televisions mentioned above also had a switch to  select between tv & radio - effectively turning off the HV and pix sections.

Darn small world - even smaller when it comes to things Corvair.

I don't remeber any FM betwen the bands.  But at that age, who would be looking for it? Back then it was AM (American Music) and FM (Foreign Music).  AM was rock and roll and FM was mostly classical.

I would bet that was the Mallory "Inductuner" found in the DuMont TV's 
also. FM was between the Hi and Low VHF tv channels. Yes???
