Um Funksignale verschiedener Sender (-frequenzen) trennen zu können, war eine Abstimmung auf der Empfangsseite nötig. Die alten Marconi-Empfänger waren nicht abstimmbar. Diesen Nachteil beseitigte der Braun-Empfänger, der erste Erfolge schon um 1904 zeitigte.

Marconi brachte 1907 den von Charles S.Franklin patentierten trennscharfen Multiple Tuner heraus, der praktisch über den gesamten verwendeten Frequenzbereich arbeitete. Er fand verbreitet Anwendung auf Schiffen in Verbindung mit Maggie, dem Magnetic Detector von Marconi.
