I have a RCA RFG 12J, "The Alexander". It looks like a more plain version of the RFG20 talked about in Transistor.org. 2 gang tuner, no TRF (if it had a TRF it would have a larger 3 gang tuner. 8 transistors and runs on 2 D cells. It does NOT have an earphone plug. Battery life is probably close to the world famous GE P780 series. Interesting, though, it has 3 wires and a capacitor connected to the speaker. I wonder if it actually has a 2 way speaker in that small size.
But THE most amazing RCA, and Bob Smoak can attest to that, is the RJG 42E. I gave him my old one. It dates to the mid 60's. It has 10 transistors, and has a tuned RF stage. It is *T H E* only radio that will play perfectly at WKDK and NO images anywhere on the dial. You have to get within a couple feet of the tower before it will distort. I had it at Clemson in the mid 60's and tried it at WANS 1280 and 5000 watts. It was fine until I got RIGHT up to the tower fencing. And it's sensitive also. For the sensitivity in a tiny package is the Zenith Royall 66 / Royal 705. Tuned RF stage and smoking hot. Mine has to go to the Zenith repair man in Sumter, SC. It suddenly has become ill. I don't know about nulling, but I'd bet it's better than the SRF-59 sensitivity and selectivity wise. I DON'T know about Nulling. The drawbacks are age, and the fake leather case is very fragile, especially the back. The earphone jack like other Zeniths of the era require you to open the back, which was a SERIOUS design flaw. The back of most of these era Zeniths have NO hinges.
