The General Radio 558 Amateur Band Frequency Meter was introduced in 1928 Bulletin 930 and Catalogs E1 and E2.
The Type 558 is an absportion type wavemeter covering the five popular amateur radio bands. Its an improved version of the earlier 358 wavemeter with .25% accuracy as compared to 1% of the 358 and the inclusion of fifth VHF band coil. The 558 uses a neon type resonance indicator which is change from the incandescent lamp used by thev [358]]. Each wavemeter is supplied with a calibration chart produced with settings accurate for that particular meter.
