Commentary

Solid state FM/AM receiver with wood-grain design.

Silicon transistor is used.

The equalizer amplifier section uses a direct connection method.
The direct-coupled amplification system is not affected by capacitors or hand-made equipment, so it can be amplified faithfully even at extremely low frequencies.

ITL-OTL circuit is used for the main amplifier section.
By removing the output transformer and input transformer, the trouble caused by the transformer is eliminated.

Equipped with a pure electronic power transistor protection circuit.

FET is used in the front end part to improve various characteristics such as interference rejection capability.

A high-gain IC is used in the IF stage to provide sufficient IF gain and high sensitivity.
Also, since the limiter is activated from the time of Chikara Oire, reception with good S/N and little distortion is possible.

Equipped with an FM mono-stereo automatic switching device, the circuit switches automatically when a stereo broadcast transmission is received.
The red lamp on the dial is lit during stereo reception.

An SCA filter is installed to prevent interference between SCA and FM broadcasts.
