There's a neat link at RadioIntel today. http://www.radiointel.com/ "North Korea: Journalism In The Service Of Kim Jong-il" http://english.ohmynews.com/articlev...97456&rel_no=1 Scroll about 40% of the way down the page to see a picture of a NK receiver. Typically, it is set to receive only one station. I cross-posted this, because 1) it's shortwave, and 2), it's a tube receiver. I can't tell you anything about the vintage of the radio. In appearance, it reminds me of a 1960s Philips. My guess is that the two knobs are on/off and volume, and the three pushbuttons grouped together are radio station presets. The back reveals what looks like a three tube design (unless there are 1 or 2 tubes in back that are not evident) which reminds me of the three tube design of the volksradios of Nazi Germany. It's probably a regenerative circuit, as were the volksradios. I wonder if the plugs in back that are highlighted in the photo are for some sort of cable radio connection; they look like RCA style jacks. Another thought from actually reading the article: if all the official sets use tubes, then a transistor radio like the kind the article says will be smuggled in (possibly the same initiative paid for with US taxpayer money mentioned on the rrs NG?) would be very conspicuous. ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 100,000 Newsgroups ---= East/West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =--- |
