Shortwave regenerative receiver designed by the staff of Australasian Radio World to cover the shortwave band from 20 to 80 metres with three sets of plug-in coils.
The first IC4 provides RF gain. The second 1C4 provides leaky-grid detection and screen grid regeneration. Regeneration control is provided by a potentiometer providing voltage control on the detector screen.
Two tuning controls are provided for RF and detector tuning.
The 1D4 provides audio output for headphones.
It was sold as a kit by various advertisers in Australasian Radio World in Australia and by Fear's in New Zealand for £6/15/- with headphones and without valves and batteries.
