The invention of radio communication was preceded by many decades of establishing theoretical underpinnings, ... Los Angeles, Cal: The author. Bottone, S. R. (1910).
The invention of the superheterodyne receiver solved this problem, and the first radios with a heterodyne radio receiver went for sale in 1924. But it was costly, and the technology was shelved while waiting for the technology to mature, and in 1929 the Radiola 66 and Radiola 67 went for sale.

Radio is the technology of communicating using radio waves. [1] [2] [3] Radio waves are electromagnetic waves of frequency between 3 hertz (Hz) and 300 gigahertz (GHz). They are generated by an electronic device called a transmitter connected to an antenna which radiates oscillating electrical energy, often characterized as a wave.

Armstrong's "feed back" circuit drawing, from Radio Broadcast vol. 1 no. 1 1922. Armstrong began working on his first major invention while still an undergraduate at Columbia. In late 1906, Lee de Forest had invented the three-element (triode) "grid Audion" vacuum-tube. How vacuum tubes worked was not understood at the time.
