  • Notes
  • Marconi Wireless 106B Radio Receiver In 1918 American Marconi introduced the 106B as a companion receiver for the 1/2 KW Quenched Gap Transmitter. It covered 200-3500 meters and was used primarily for marine applications such as yachts and small ships. The 106B had a hardwood cabinet with straight sides that differed significantly from the earlier 106 cabinet with rounded corners and protruding baseboard. The 106B is easily distinguished from the 106 with the addition of a second crystal detector to the front panel. The binding posts were also moved to the rear of the unit. The 106B is a later model of the 106; there were also 106C and 106Ds.
