You've got me beat there!

The coldest I've ever personally experienced was -36 degrees F. (Yes I
was outside working in it).

The hottest was about 110 degrees F

Well, I clipped a lot: You ask for examples of earlier digital readout
(pre-1980) stiff, and then agreed that many hams used Surplus Military
hardware.. Likely the digital stuff I saw was ex-military. It has been
like 40 years since I saw it so I can't recall much.

Now,, the -40.. I had parking lot detail at a swap fest
The 120+ was the temp recorded inside a car. facing NORTH, in Michigan,
IN JANUARY of all months. Imagine what it hit in August?

The only time the radio did not work properly was when the battery
voltage went low. Then it would would not receive properly till the
voltage came up a bit.
