[Heathkit] RX-1/TX-1 Frequency Question

[manualman at juno.com]

The RX-1 was designed and prototyped in 1957 when there was an 11 meter
band. The RX-1 also covered 160 meters and the TX-1 did not. The RX-1
also had dial markings for 6 and 2 meters. Most of this "why this" or
"why that" is covered in Chuck Penson's,  Heathkit's Amateur Radio book.
