In one of my previous careers I served for over 12 years as a 911 dispatcher in
two states. My first dispatch job was in Rockford IL in the late 70s where I
fondly remember the long wire antenna running between the old police
headquarters roof and the roof of city hall at the opposite corner of

The LA County Sheriff's Dept continued to use this band until the mid 60s. I
remember hearing some of their transmissions on about 1650 during the Watts

My 1946 Philco, a 46-1209 covers 550- 1700 though it actually tunes to 1750.
I have a 2 band Philco 41-230. Band 1 covers 550-1500 and band 2 covers 1500 to
3.5 megahertz on the scale but actually tunes close to 4 megahertz.
As another note, 540 wasn't added to the band plan until 1955.

Many older tube radios did. The marine radio-telephone band was in the 1620+
segment and I used to hear the marine operators on some of those old radios
back in the 1960's. But I can't say for sure if that's why they tuned that far
up.
