This 1920s TRF radio manufactured by Signal is constructed on a breadboard Tuning a TRF receiver, like this 5 tube Neutrodyne set from 1924 with two stages of RF amplification, was a complicated process. The three tuned circuits, controlled by the 3 large knobs, had to be tuned in unison to the new station.
Audio reproduction quality of TRF sets was limited by the available loudspeakers. "High Fidelity" was not to become a radio marketing concept until the mid-1930s and was not realized until the advent of FM broadcasting. Reaction sets, also known as regenerative receivers, rely on positive feedback to achieve adequate gain. This approach ...
The RCA model R7 Superette superheterodyne table radio. This is a list of notable radios, which encompasses specific models and brands of radio transmitters, receivers and transceivers, both actively manufactured and defunct, including receivers, two-way radios, citizens band radios, shortwave radios, ham radios, scanners, weather radios and airband and marine VHF radios.
Collins S-Line, featuring separate power supply, receiver, transmitter, and speaker console, c. 1960s. Amateur radio equipment of past eras like the 1940s, 50s, and 60s that are separate vacuum tube transmitters and receivers (unlike modern transceivers) are an object of nostalgia, and many see rehabilitation and on-air use by enthusiasts.

Ad for an Atwater Kent Radio receiver in the Ladies' Home Journal (September, 1926) Ad for Atwater Kent Radio Model 35, 1927. In 1921, Kent produced his first radio components, selling the do-it-yourself kits consisting of "breadboards" that could be assembled by early radio enthusiasts. [3]
The Neutrodyne receiver, invented in 1922 by Louis Hazeltine, [133] [134] was a TRF receiver with a "neutralizing" circuit added to each radio amplification stage to cancel the feedback to prevent the oscillations which caused the annoying whistles in the TRF.
The Neutrodyne radio receiver, invented in 1922 by Louis Hazeltine, was a particular type of tuned radio frequency (TRF) receiver, in which the instability-causing inter-electrode capacitance of the triode RF tubes is cancelled out or "neutralized" [1] [2] to prevent parasitic oscillations which caused "squealing" or "howling" noises in the speakers of early radio sets.
Eldorado Electrodata was founded in Oakland, California, as the Sargent-Rayment Company in 1927 by Ed Sargent and Lyndon C. Rayment.Among the company's first offerings was a TRF receiver called the Sargent-Rayment 7, which gained national renown after being advertised in Radio World. [1]
