This radio can work in three modes;As a Crystal radio.Change the shorting power tab to the crystal position. Select band 2 to start . Fit an earth connection, switch the valve germanium switch to the G position. Turn the RF gain to maximum. Fit the earphones. In this mode you will need to experiment to see of you also need an aerial. In most case some signals should be received with just a good earth connection.As a powered radio, without the valve in operationChange the shorting tab to the power position. Fit a 9 volt PP3 battery. Swith the V- G switch to the G ( Germanium diode position). Fit an earth and/ or aerial. For the higher frequencies an aerial is recommended. Select the band required and use the main tuning capacitor to select stations.Note about Link A This link removes the main tuning capacitor from the circuit, this enables the X band to be used. With this link removed and the xband tab in position stations can be selected in the VHF band by tuning the small trimming capacitor in band X.Using the receiver as a pure Valve Radioremove the power tab and fit to the crystal position. Select the V position on the change over swith. Turn the RF gain fully clockwise. Connect a DC 6 volts 300 mA supply to the valve heaters. Frequency selection is the same as other modes. Note the chip is out of circuit and the tube is detecting the signal. This is an example of an early radio receiver. Thermionic emissions are taking place and the valve is detection the radio signal. Warning valve may become warm/hot.
