Hi everybody,

Finally got my little Philco 46-200 122 working, but for the life of me, I can't figure out how the SW band works. The dial is marked Broadcast and 200 to 500 meters, but no band-switch.

Using the Breitman Schematic.

I hesitated to ask because it's probably obvious. Just not to me.

Thanks,

lyle
I may not be very good, but I'm slow.

Huh the 200-500 meters is the AM band measured in wavelength rather than frequency. This set has no SW band.

No wonder I couldn't find it. See, it was obvious.

Thanks once again, Terry.
