The A-8 is a dual-band, six-tube superheterodyne. It is designed for installation in Pobeda M-20 vehicles, and the A-8M model in Moskvich M-402, M-403 vehicles. The receivers are powered from a car battery with a voltage of 12.8 volts, with a minus on the ground. The anode circuits of the receiver are powered from the vibration transducer. The kit consists of a receiving unit, a power supply, a loudspeaker with a reflective board and an antenna connection cable. The connection to the power supply and the loudspeaker is made by cables. Tuning to the frequency of the radio station is made by ferroinductors (by moving the cores in the coils). The receiver scale is graduated in UE. The range selector knob is integrated with the tuning knob. When it is pressed in, the DV range is turned on, when the CB is pulled out. Rated output power 1.5 watts. Nonlinear distortion factor 7%. Ranges LW: 150 ... 415 kHz, MW: 520 ... 1500 kHz. IF 465 kHz. Sensitivity in the ranges: DV 250 μV, CB 150 μV. Selectivity in the ranges DV -20 dB, SV -18 dB. Attenuation of the mirror channel 20 dB. Power consumption 45 watts. The dimensions of the receiver are 202x72x202 mm, the power supply unit is 176x72x137 mm. Reflective board 194x150x8 mm. The weight of any set is 7.3 kg. In 1955, during the modernization of the Pobeda car, the A-8 receiver was already installed regularly. And since 1956, the A-8M receivers began to be installed regularly on Moskvich-402, and later 403 vehicles, the AR-44 telescopic antenna was installed vertically.
