Radiogood for giving In almost the last three decades, Americans have purchased more than 870 million radios. The favorite in this huge family of receivers is the portable. Since the tiny transistor made smaller and more specialized Tadios possible, the "carry-about" has de­ veloped great appeal as a personal gift item. It may well be the answer to some of the names on your Christmas gift list. As a basic, most port­ ables tune the standard AM and FM broadcast bands. In addition, other re­ ceivers, including all of Zenith's multibands, tune the 161.55 to 162.55 MHz section of the Public Serv­ ice High Band (PSB-Hi). These bring the listener around-the-clock broad­ casts of weather news at the touch of a button and turn of a knob if the set is within range of any of over 70 National Weather Service Stations in the U.S. They dot our coastline all the way from Anchor­ age at the north, Corpus Christl to the south, Miami to the east, and Hyannls and Portland in the north­ east, and our inland large- waterways. Mid-America also has a share of these VHF government weather stations. With such a service at one's fingertips, anyone who is a weekend hiker or cyclist or other outdoor lover can benefit from forecasts of temperature, wind velocity, hazardous weather warnings, and news of various travel con­ ditions. Even the picnicker not too far from home can be helped. International radio lets you turn world on A deluxe gift item that opens the door to a big, wide world of entertain­ ment, information, and news is an FM-AM inter­ national short wave port­ able radio. With such a set, like Zenith's Trans-Oceanic with its 11 tuning ranges, the owner may listen to domestic broadcasts as well as many international broadcasts from the con­ tinents of Europe*, Africa, Australia and South Amer­ ica, or the Asian subcon­ tinent; play-by-plays or reports0 of international sports events; the over­ seas Voice of America; and a wealth of other programs. Reception, of course, will vary by geo­ graphic location, atmos­ pheric conditions, and other phenomena affecting short wave reception. The Trans-Oceanic is ideal for the hobbyist, linguist, journalist, arm­ chair traveler, sportsman or those who enjoy hearing directly what is going on in different parts of the world.
