[MRCA] am radio

[Al Klase]

Hi Benny,

If you would clarify the reason you're asking, I could get more 
specific.  Just curious / want to acquire and use one / SWL /etc.? Time 
period, WWII, post war, etc.

Any way, well look at "communication" receivers first.  During WWII, a 
lot of radios were designed for specific purposes, and deliberately 
skipped the broadcast band.  E.g., the BC-779 was a Hammarlund 
200-series Super Pro with the bottom two bands moved to long wave.  The 
BC-764 and BC-1004 were similar to the civilian Super Pro, covering 
0.5-20 MHz.  Navy RBB covers 0.5 to 4 MHz, but you need an RBC to get 
the rest of "short wave."  There's always quasi-military radios like 
SX-28 and AR-88 that cover the traditional 0.5 - 30 "all-wave range.

WWII "moral" receiver cover medium and shout-wave broadcast.  Look at 
R-100, Scott RCH and SLR, Navy REP etc.

After WWII it get easier.  Most sets cover 0.5-30:  SP-600, 51-J / 
R-388, R-390/A, and R-392 come to mind.
