Three-program radio receiver: features, model overview, selection criteria

Despite the fact that the modern market is full of all kinds of devices, the purpose of which is to receive a radio signal and reproduce it, people still prefer conventional radio receivers. This device is used to create background music in the house, in the country or when traveling. Radios are very different, may differ in appearance, functions, capabilities. All devices for this purpose are divided into two types - one-program and three-program. It is about the latter that will be discussed in this article.

The first domestic three-program radio receiver was created back in 1962. 3 wired broadcast programs could be played with this unit. Today, such devices also exist and are in demand. Modern three-program receivers have the following features:

• a 3 or 4-button switch is built into the receiver body, with the help of which the settings are switched;
• almost every modern model is equipped with a full-range dynamic loudspeaker;
• characterized by the presence of sensitivity controls, thanks to which you can make adjustments so that the music will sound clear, without interference and bass.

Almost all modern models are produced with digital settings, which makes it easier to find your favorite radio station and makes it possible to store the frequency at which the station is located in the device's memory.

We would like to bring to your attention some of the most popular and frequently purchased models of the device for wire broadcasting.

This three-program receiver has enjoyed incredible demand since its inception. Possesses the following technical parameters:

• power - 1 W;
• weight - 1.5 kg;
• dimensions (LxHxW) - 27.5x17x11.1 cm;
• frequency range - 160 ... 6300 Hz;
• type of power supply - from a network, the voltage of which is 220 W.

The device has the following technical characteristics:

• power - 0.3 W;
• weight - 1.2 kg;
• dimensions (LxHxW) - 22.5x13.5x0.85cm;
• frequency range - 450 ... 3150 Hz;
• type of power supply - from a network, the voltage of which is 220 W

This model of a three-program radio receiver is considered one of the most successful of all that ever existed. The device can broadcast not only the usual programs, but also catch radio stations with the VHF / FM range. Technical specifications:

• power - 1 W;
• weight - 1.5 kg;
• dimensions (LxHxW) - 27.5x17.5x11.1cm;
• frequency range - 88 ... 108 Hz;
• type of power supply - from a network, the voltage of which is 220 W.

Considering the fact that the range of radio receivers is large enough, when it becomes necessary to buy a device, the consumer is confused and does not know what to choose. In order not to face difficulties during the purchase, you need to know what to look for.

So, when buying a three-program radio receiver, you need to be guided by the following points.

• The range of received frequencies. The higher the value of this parameter, the more radio stations the device can “catch”.If the device will be used outside the city, it is desirable that it be all-wave.
• Power speakers.
• Coefficient of sensitivity and selectivity... The higher the sensitivity of the device, the better it will pick up even remote signals from radio stations.
• Antenna type. It happens inside and outside. The first picks up the signal from radio stations worse than the second option.
• Setting method... It can be analog and digital. With the analog type of settings, the search for a radio station is carried out manually, you need to move the wheel along the scale and look for the desired wave. The digital radio searches for radio waves automatically.
• The type of food. The device can work either from the electrical network, or from batteries. There are combination models that have two types of power supply.
• Availability of additional functions and opportunities.
