358

The General Radio 358 Amateur Band Wavemeter was introduced in Bulletin 926 (1924) and remained available through Catalog K1 (1939).

The Type 358 is an absorption type wavemeter covering the four overlapping bands. It has an frequency accuracy of 1% and uses an incandescent lamp as a resonance indicator. The lamp is in a special socket that closes the connection when the lamp is removed if not needed. A Type 247 gear driven condenser is used inside the meter. Each wavemeter is supplied with a calibration chart produced with settings accurate for that particular meter.
