Car radio `` A-18 ''.

Car radio and electrical equipment.Car radio and electrical equipmentSince 1966, the A-18 / E car radio has been producing the Murom radio plant. "A-18" is a modernization of the "A-12" radio receiver and is intended for installation in Volga cars. The receiver has three ranges: DV, SV, VHF and three versions: the usual "A-18" or "A-18S" (Soviet) with the VHF range of 65.8 ... 73 MHz and export A-18E "(European) with VHF range 88 ... 104 MHz. The export receiver was also produced with the letter "T" (Tropical version). In these two versions, the boundaries of the CB range are also slightly changed. Otherwise, all three models are the same. A distinctive feature of the receiver is the external amplifier made on five transistors, combined with a voltage converter for powering the anodes of the UP-18 radio tubes. Ranges DV 150 ... 408 kHz, SV 525 ... 1605 kHz. IF AM path 465 kHz, FM 8.4 MHz. Real sensitivity on DV 150 μV, SV 50 μV, on VHF 5 μV. Selectivity on the adjacent channel on LW, SV - 34 dB, VHF - 24 dB. AGC provides a ratio of input and output signal 60 to 6 dB. Nominal output power of the LF amplifier - 3 W, maximum 5. Power consumption 30 W. Dimensions of the radio receiver 219x232x98 mm, unit UP-18 - 180x93x111 m m. The weight of the set is 5.5 kg. The receiver is assembled on 6 tubes and 6 transistors. Broadband loudspeaker, type 3GD28. The UP-18 block provides anode and filament voltages from a 12-volt car battery.
