A radio receiver of the Rodina-59 type has been experimentally produced since 1959 by the Voronezh Radio Plant. '' Motherland-59 '' is a class 2 superheterodyne, in which the number of battery lamps is reduced to 3, due to the use of 5 transistors. This made the receiver more economical and the sound quality is better than in previous models. The receiver has 5 ranges: DV, NE and 3 half-stretched KV 24 ... 31, 32 ... 50 and 51 ... 77 m. Its sensitivity is 100 µV. The adjacent channel selectivity is 26 dB. IF 465 kHz. Switching to pickup or pickup is done with a key switch. Left knob volume and power on. Right knob setting. On the left is the key switch for the lower timbre, and on the right for the upper. In the mixer, the heptone is used, and in the heterodyne, the triode part of the 1K2P radio tube. 2 stages of the IF amplifier operate on 1K2P lamps. For the detector used diode D2E. In the remaining cascades P13 transistors are used; two in the preliminary ULF and two in the terminal. When playing records, the last stage of the IF amplifier is used as the first stage of the ULF. Universal power supply: from a set of batteries or accumulators with a voltage of 1.2 and 6 V (lamps are powered through a converter at semiconductor station); from a set of batteries with a voltage of 1.2 V, 6 V and 60 V and from the mains 127 and 220 V. The converter is a separate receiver unit. It serves to convert a constant 6 in to a constant voltage of 60 in to power the anodes and screens of the radio tubes. The constant voltage is converted into alternating with the help of the triode P13, then rectified by the diode DG-Ts24. Rectifiers are assembled according to full-wave diagrams on DGTs-25 diodes. The indicator when the mains rectifier is turned on is a neon lamp MP2. A 1GD-6 loudspeaker is used in the receiver. The band of sound frequencies is 100 ... 4000 Hz. Rated output power 150 mW. The power consumed from the battery in rest mode is 0.5 W, and when the signal is given up to 0.9 W. The receiver was produced in two design options, in a carbolite case and in a wooden case, finished with veneer of valuable sorts of wood, framed with plastic on the front panel.The receiver is also available in two power options, with built-in power supply from the mains and without it. The dimensions of the receiver are 480x310x255 mm. Weight is about 12 kg.
