Quicker way to tell is by the band switch. It covers all frequencies between 1.8 and 30 MHz. In several bands.?

Mine operated on a lot of oddball MARS frequencies without problems.? How would I tell if it was a CDC model?

Hello!
I retired from Lockheed when the Pandemic hit. I've been
collecting BA's and old test equip for decades. I currently
have a Johnson Viking II CDC on the air, mostly on 75 and 40
meter phone, paired with a National NC-303. I use a KW
matchbox with a mod for 160 meters to tune a 160m half-wave
inverted vee for 160-6 meters.? I have a Ranger and a Viking
Valiant that are undergoing some restoration, a Johnson Mobile
transmitter (and Johnson mobile VFO but no PS) and a
Challenger which I've collected but I haven't done much with
yet. My long term plans are to keep the Viking II CDC and the
Ranger but if anyone is interested in making an offer for any
of the other rigs let me know and we can work something out,
especially if you can visit the Southeastern Pennsylvania area
(Pottstown/Phoenixville).? I have way too much stuff! 73 KN3i
