Radio Manufacturing Engineers Company began business in 1932 in Peoria, IL. By 1953 they had merged with Electro-Voice, the famous manufacturer of microphones. This particular radio, the RME-45 from 1946 was a very capable unit. The example in our collection was purchased new in 1946 by New England Wireless and Steam Museum founder Robert Merriam.
The RME-45 is an all band receiver since it can tune from 550 kHz to 33 MHz (33,000 kHz). That covers everything from the AM broadcast band to slightly beyond the amateur radio 10 meter band. Although this radio did not have a bandspread feature as did a later version, it did not really need it. This is because of the excellent tuning mechanism which has a 160:1 reduction ratio according to Dave Miller’s article in the May, 2008 edition of Electric Radio magazine.
