The UKW Retro Radio

This state-of-the-art VHF radio with traditional design receives FM stations in the

range of 87.5 MHz to 108 MHz with good reception performance. You will mainly

hear the strong local stations with good sound. However, the receiver is sensitive

enough to also receive remote stations at times.

VHF radio was not widely introduced before 1945. Initially, there were still many

radios that were only able to receive the AM ranges long wave, medium wave

and short wave. Many devices could be retroﬁt to receive VHF. The tube superhet

with VHF range became generally popular in the 1950s.

This radio looks reminiscent of a typical portable radio from the 1960s. With in-

vention of the transistor, radios could be built that could be operated at lower

energy than tube receivers. They could therefore also be battery-operated. Apart

from this, they remained technically similar to older tube radios.
