The receiver has 16 radio tubes and operates in 9 subbands, overlapping frequencies from 12 KHz to 23 MHz. The receiver has a control loudspeaker, headphone jacks. A double conversion of frequency and a step change of the passband of the second IF of 0.5, 1.5 and 6 KHz are applied. The sensitivity of the radio receiver depends on the ranges and lies in the range from 3 to 10 µV. Power supply from the AC mains or DC through the OP-120 converter. Receiver dimensions 350x410x420 mm. Weight 36 kg.
