My Dad had an RME 69 (general coverage) receiver and later a RME 4350A (ham
band only). The latter was dual-conversion and the "A" in the model number
indicated a 100 kHz crystal calibrator. I think it covered eleven meters,
but it was before the WARC band allocations. The 4350 had pretty good
sensitivity and selectivity, but the tuning mechanism was nothing but
trouble for us.

The RME stood for Radio Manufacturing Engineers (or something like that) and
was a division of ElectroVoice.
