What does the writing on the lower left and lower right of the gauge say? Can’t make it out.

[URL removed] Thanks. Hubby does ham radio, he spent the night in the hospital and will get home today. I will ask him if he knows when we get him home. I can’t figure how frequency and thermo couple go together myself, but then I am still learning about ham radio.

EDIT 2: Found this web site that explains what it [URL removed] [URL removed]

EDIT 3: Ham radio and ship’s radio would be in the same frequencies, same as the cops use, fire department, etc. He just got home and is resting. I’ll email him the link to this and ask him to take a look.

EDIT 4: Hubby says it’s a VERY old way to tune in an antenna’s ground. The stuff gets pretty complicated to try to explain in everyday English so a regular non-radio person would understand. But it’s an old meter and the link I gave to explain it, he says that’s pretty much it.

Did you see this sold one?
It has the same model number.

Thanks Ladies,

JG I hope your hubby is alright. I’m not sure if it ham radio or more like a ship.

*Timespan, Thank you I missed that listing.
