Well, it tunes 1.5 to 30 Mc in 5 bands:
1.5 - 3 Mc
3 - 6 Mc
6 - 12 Mc
12 - 20 Mc
20 - 30 Mc

The tuning rate is certainly faster on the top band, but not uncomfortably 
fast.

Receiver weight is 48.5 lb.  Power supply is 11.5 lb.  I didn't get the 
little do-hickey shown hanging on the right side.
Bandwidth is 0.4 / 1.5 / 3.0 / 6 Kc.  It has separate rf, if, and af gain 
controls.  The meter is mostly for diagnostics, showing a measure of cathode 
current for all the tubes, and heater and plate voltages.
Audio output is 600 Ohms to a speaker, or through an attenuator to 600 Ohm 
phones. (supplied, very nice)
Input voltage is adjustable from about 180 to 250 volts, 50-60 cycles.
