The 670 series was expressly designed for ship board cabin use. The 670A has five ranges: .15-.38, .54-1.5 3.7-10.6 and 10.5-30 MHz. The fifth "range" is marked "G" which is for a gramophone (phonograph) input. The broadcast bands are marked on the dial. The vernier tuning scale is a mechanical bandspread scheme that provides a quick and accurate means to return to a previously logged frequency. The tuning indicator (DM70) is a green fluorescent tube. With no signal the glow will extend to its full length. When a signal is received the glow contracts.
