Stan-
That part of the BCB band was, as others have already tols you, for the
police. I would set in Dallas and listen to the Los Angels police.
Also in the 20's and the 30's it was used for the video signal for the
flying spot scanner type of TV. The audio being broadcast on the stations
normal frequency. Not all TV operated in 1600 to 1800 range, some was up
around the 2000 to 2500 range.
When I was about 10 years old I had a all band radio, don't remember the
brand or model.
Someone had painted the case a dark green. It did have a electro-magnetic
speaker and went up 20mc. It disappeared when I went into the navy, as did a
lot of my old QSLs.

Subject: [IRCA] Off the wall question
I was noticing the other day, my 1948 Firestone radio I keep in the
workshop goes up to 1700kc. The X band wasn't officially used until around
1993 if I'm correct.
Why does it go that high in the 1st place?
Does anyone else know of some of the older tube, and transistor radios
that go that high??
