Very true, the BC-779 Super Pro series was nice,
but setting to a specific frequency< (in the absence
of a signal), required a transmitter or a freq meter.
There was one other way, if a dependable signal
was on the air. Calibration was all relative.
The Sig Corps had various types of National then.
