[Mikrowave1] had a Unelco shortwave receiver as a kid. This was a typical simple radio for the 1960s using germanium and silicon transistors. It also had plug-in coils you had to insert into sockets ...

The circuit replaces the old circuit that uses ZN414 with a newer MK414 IC but still integrates the same features. It features high quality audio, low current consumption, no alignment and complete ...

You can’t doubt the appeal of vintage audio equipment, especially stereo receivers. With their giant metal knobs, faux-wood paneling and glow-up facades, they have a unique cool factor that modern ...

As a long-time RW contributor (my first article was in June 1990) and even longer-time shortwave radio fan and broadcaster (Radio Canada International, HCJB in Ecuador, radioEARTH, and Monitor Radio; ...

To Whom It May Concern, I just read the guest commentary “Why Reviving Shortwave is a Non-Starter” on your web site. While some of the stated facts would seem true, I believe that some other facts ...

Although the ubiquitous LM386 IC was designed to be used as an audio amplifier, it has a number of undocumented characteristics that can be exploited to create simple radio receiver circuits that ...

We’ll admit we haven’t heard of the AGS-38, it reminds us of the shortwave receivers of our youth, and it looks like many that were made “white label” by more established (and often Japanese) ...

MIAMI (CBSMiami) - A massive shortwave radio antenna sits in a cow pasture north of Lake Okeechobee in Central Florida. "We have 14, 100,000-watt transmitters and 23 antennas beaming to all parts of ...
