Regenerative receivers require fewer components than other types of receiver circuit, such as the TRF and superheterodyne. The circuit's advantage was that it got much more amplification (gain) out of the expensive vacuum tubes , thus reducing the number of tubes required and therefore the cost of a receiver.
The regenerative receiver also had its heyday at the time where adding an active element (vacuum tube) was considered costly. In order to increase the gain of the receiver, positive feedback was used in its single RF amplifier stage; this also increased the selectivity of the receiver well beyond what would be expected from a single tuned circuit.
It is a regenerative amplifier adjusted to provide positive feedback within the receiver. This has the effect of narrowing the receiver's bandwidth, as if the Q factor of its tuned circuits had been increased. The Q multiplier was a common accessory in shortwave receivers of the vacuum tube era as either a factory installation or an add-on ...
C1 is the gridleak capacitor. C2 is a radio frequency bypass capacitor. L4 is an inductance without inductive coupling to L. Together with the tube internal capacitor between anode and grid L4 creates a negative differential resistance at the grid. Regenerative control is as in Fig. 8. Fig. 10 AM band NPN audion receiver

But 1) the regenerative receiver could be used without oscillating doing straight envelope detection but still taking advantage of the increased selectivity around the tuning frequency due to the Q approaching infinity (due to the positive feedback), a property the DRC doesn't have; 2) The DCR is very refined compared to the regenerative, and ...
By the early 1930s National had established a reputation with the amateur radio community based upon their line of regenerative receivers, including the SW-3 and SW-5. National HRO receiver, circa 1938 Logo of National Company, late 1940s. In 1935 National introduced their top-of-the-line HRO receiver. This radio included two RF stages and a ...
