Orbit-2 portable radio receiver.
Radio and electrical constructors, sets.Radio receiving devicesSince 1970, the portable radio receiver "Orbita-2" has been producing the Riga Radio Plant named after Popov. Orbita-2 is a small-sized portable superheterodyne assembled on 8 transistors. Just like the Orbita receiver, it is designed for reception in the MW and HF bands (25 ... 75 meters) to an internal magnetic antenna. The scale in the MW range is calibrated in kilohertz, in KV in meters. The receiver body is made of impact-resistant polystyrene. The control knobs and the telephone jack are located on the side walls. The range switch is located at the back. The back cover contains a compartment for 4 type 316 batteries. The receiver was supplied with a leather case. The inscription on the front panel "8 transistor" in some receiver batches is replaced by the inscription "All transistor". Unlike the Orbit receiver, Orbit-2 has a smooth tuning in the HF range with a trimmer capacitor. The radio receiver has a sensitivity in the MW range of 0.6 mV / m, and in the survey HF range of 400 µV. Selectivity 26 and 16 dB, respectively. The rated output power of the amplifier is 100 mW. Dimensions of the model 142x81x37 mm. Weight 340 gr. In 1971, in a small batch (~ 800 pieces), the plant produced the Orbit-2 radio receiver in the form of a radio designer.
