    AM radio with 2 built-in ferroceptors in Faraday cage. The 2 ferroceptors are connected in series for LW and in parallel for BC.

    • LW: 150 - 345 kHz.
    • BC: 517 - 1620 kHz.
    • BC "Local": 517 - 1615 kHz (with its own tuning capacitor and scale).
    • SW1: 1,6 - 5,2 MHz (185m - 57,5m).
    • SW2: 5,1 - 15 MHz (59m - 20m) with fine tuning (S43) on separate scale.
    • SW3: 14,7 - 26,5 MHz (20,4m - 11,3m) with fine tuning (S43) on separate scale.

    AM I.F. filters with variable bandwidth, mechanically coupled to the treble tone control.

    FM radio with dipole antenna input: 87.5 - 100 MHz with or without silent tuning.
     
    Separated tone control for bass and treble.
    Amplifier: "Bi-Ampli" separated output stages for bass and treble. 
    The bass amplifier is of SRPP* type which act as a push-pull amplifier (2x PL81).
    The treble amplifier is of common single ended design (EL84).
     
    Dial lamps:
    • 7x 8089N (bajonet, 12V/100mA).
    • 5x 7994N (bajonet, 7,2V/100mA).
    • 3x 8024N (bajonet, 6,3V/300mA).
    This radio uses the same chassis as models FX995A and BX998A.
     
    *Shunt Regulated Push Pull.
