The National Company for Amateur Radio, also known as the National Radio Company,
was a major player in the development and manufacture of amateur radio equipment
during the early to mid-20th century. The company was founded in 1914 in Malden,
Massachusetts, USA, by James Millen, a skilled radio technician and inventor.
The National Company initially focused on manufacturing high-quality radio receivers and transmitters for the burgeoning amateur radio market. Millen was a skilled engineer and his products quickly gained a reputation for being well-designed and reliable. The company expanded rapidly, and by the 1920s, it had become one of the leading manufacturers of amateur radio equipment in the United States.
During World War II, the National Company shifted its focus to military production, manufacturing critical communications equipment for the US Army and Navy. After the war, the company resumed production of amateur radio equipment, but faced increasing competition from new entrants into the market.
In the 1950s and 1960s, the National Company continued to innovate, producing some of the most advanced amateur radio equipment of the time. However, by the 1970s, the market for amateur radio equipment had shifted, with more hobbyists interested in lower-cost, imported equipment.
In 1976, the National Company was sold to the Panasonic Corporation and the brand name was eventually phased out. However, many of the designs and innovations developed by the National Company continue to be used in modern amateur radio equipment, and the company's legacy remains an important part of the history of amateur radio.

AI Technical Trustability Update
While working on an update to my RF Cafe Espresso Engineering Workbook project to add a couple calculators about FM sidebands (available soon). The good news is that AI provided excellent VBA code to generate a set of Bessel function plots. The bad news is when I asked for a table showing at which modulation indices sidebands 0 (carrier) through 5 vanish, none of the agents got it right. Some were really bad. The AI agents typically explain their reason and method correctly, then go on to produces bad results. Even after pointing out errors, subsequent results are still wrong. I do a lot of AI work and see this often, even with subscribing to professional versions. I ultimately generated the table myself. There is going to be a lot of inaccurate information out there based on unverified AI queries, so beware.

AI Technical Trustability Update
While working on an
update to my
RF Cafe Espresso Engineering Workbook project to add a couple calculators
about FM sidebands (available soon). The good news is that AI provided excellent
VBA code to generate a set of
Bessel function plots. The bad news is when I asked for a
table
showing at which modulation indices sidebands 0 (carrier) through 5 vanish,
none of the agents got it right. Some were really bad. The AI agents typically
explain their reason and method correctly, then go on to produces bad results.
Even after pointing out errors, subsequent results are still wrong. I do a
lot of AI work and see this often, even with subscribing to professional
versions. I ultimately generated the table myself. There is going to be a
lot of inaccurate information out there based on unverified AI queries, so
beware.

The National Company for Amateur Radio, also known as the National Radio Company,
was a major player in the development and manufacture of amateur radio equipment
during the early to mid-20th century. The company was founded in 1914 in Malden,
Massachusetts, USA, by James Millen, a skilled radio technician and inventor.
The National Company initially focused on manufacturing high-quality radio receivers and transmitters for the burgeoning amateur radio market. Millen was a skilled engineer and his products quickly gained a reputation for being well-designed and reliable. The company expanded rapidly, and by the 1920s, it had become one of the leading manufacturers of amateur radio equipment in the United States.
During World War II, the National Company shifted its focus to military production, manufacturing critical communications equipment for the US Army and Navy. After the war, the company resumed production of amateur radio equipment, but faced increasing competition from new entrants into the market.
In the 1950s and 1960s, the National Company continued to innovate, producing some of the most advanced amateur radio equipment of the time. However, by the 1970s, the market for amateur radio equipment had shifted, with more hobbyists interested in lower-cost, imported equipment.
In 1976, the National Company was sold to the Panasonic Corporation and the brand name was eventually phased out. However, many of the designs and innovations developed by the National Company continue to be used in modern amateur radio equipment, and the company's legacy remains an important part of the history of amateur radio.
