Hello, John, NC-183D - you got it right, it was a tauted as a state of the
art receiver right after the war, but it really wasn't very stable. I still
have one. Th e first ham superhet by National was the FB7 - about 1932/22.
Before that the most popular National ham set was the SW-3, an extremely
popular and good ham receiver, boasting three tubes, l RF, detector and
audio amp. I could not afford one back in the early 30s, but I have a
couple now. 73, Leland, ex-W4AGI.
