If UHF had been part of the initial design, it might have had better tuners. But was added later, and obviously the VHF technology couldn't just be extended to UHF. And
it wasn't widespread at first, so a "quick fix" optional CONVERTER was added. No RF
and no detent tuning. I do have a Standard Coil tuner that clicked individual UHF
channels (with a 21 mc IF), it was really an eight channel UHF tuner with each
continuous 10 channel section "clicked" approximately into individual channels. It
took FCC regs to start getting better UHF tuners. Bruce Roe K9MQG
