The classic BC-611 (talking banana) works on frequency from 4035 kHz to 5500
kHz. Provided by 12 changeable crystals and coils.

I have two (2) of those radios. Marked " RADIO RECEIVER AND TRANSMITTER
C-611-F"
Made by Galvin Mfg. Corporation. They are crystal controlled and
operate on 3.885 kc.

Side note:
Galvin Mfg. Corporation later changed their name to Motorola to reflect
the mobility of their product line: vehicle audio products and two-way
radios. The Galvin family remained at the top of Motorola for decades.

The 'original' WWII walkie-talkie, the SCR-536 operated between 3.5 and 6 mc
(that's 3.5 and 6.0 MHz).

More correctly ''Megacycles per second'' was changed to Hertz, not
just Megacycles.

I didn't say it was ''incorrect''. I just pointed out what is ''more
correct''.

''-cycle is also an indication of frequency of periodicity, usually
associated with an additional modifier indicating the time unit.
Typically used in units such as xxx kilocycles (thousand cycles) per
second, xxx megacycles (million cycles) per second, etc., where xxx is
some number. The cycles per second is often implicit such as in "this
station broadcasts at 680 kilocycles" - this is taken to mean "680
kilocycles per second" or 680,000 cycles per second.

The "cycles per second" is now usually expressed with the unit
"hertz", named in honor of the pioneering physicist Heinrich Rudolf
Hertz and defined as "cycles per second". Thus 88 megacycles, or
correctly, 88 megacycles per second, is now expressed as 88
megahertz.''
