The only TRF radio I ever owned certainly had an oscillator. Matter of

There seem to be two different definitions of "TRF" floating around.

Definition #1:
A TRF radio has one or more tuned RF amplifier stages before the mixer.

Definition #2:
A TRF radio has no mixer. There are one or more tuned RF amplifier
stages, then a detector, then one or more audio amplifier stages.


Which makes a TRF radio sort of like a radio with a volume control, in
that neither volume control nor TRF says much about any other aspect of
the radio's design.

No wonder twelve years of inspections found NOTHING.
