Stan-
That part of the BCB band was, as others have already tols you, for the 
police. I would set in Dallas and listen to the Los Angels police.

Also in the 20's and the 30's it was used for the video signal for the 
flying spot scanner type of TV. The audio being broadcast on the stations 
normal frequency. Not all TV operated in 1600 to 1800 range, some was up 
around the 2000 to 2500 range.

When I was about 10 years old I had a all band radio, don't remember the 
brand or model.
Someone had painted the case a dark green. It did have a electro-magnetic 
speaker and went up 20mc. It disappeared when I went into the navy, as did a 
lot of my old QSLs.
