RADIO AGE for January, 192; The Magazine of the Hour Worlds RADIO'S d; Super 8 ECEIVER 6,000 to 8,000 Miles Consistent Reception on a Loop ! SELECTIVITY The following is a report of tests made by Radio Age Magazine with a Worlds Record Super in Chicago. "The Worlds Record Super is extremely selective. . . ■ KDKA comes through clean and sharp without any interference from WGN below or WGES above that channel. Three stations between WJAZ and WGES (WSMB-KOAWSAI)come in without the slightest difficulty of an overhang irom either WGES below them or WJAZ above them. The same applies to KTNT being received without interference from WJAZ. A little higher on the band WDAF at Kansas City is brought in without a trace of WEBH, and above the latter station, KTHS may be held during their entire program without a break-over from Edgewater. WGY, WTAM, WOAI, who lie between WEBH and WHT may be separated easily. Against WQJ-WMAQ the Radio Corporation WJZ comes through with excellent volume and no hangover from the adjoining local station. KFNF, KFI, WRC, WBAP all come in nicely between WQJ below and WCFL above. WHO is copied solid for over an hour without anv disturbance from KYW." TONE The Worlds Record Super possesses a tone quality of surprising naturalness at all volumes. It is a veritable revelation in realistic reproduction that amazes engineers and alike. DISTANCE No other receiver has approached the marvelous DX Records that the Worlds Record Super has established, and it is safe to say none will for years to come.
