The first transistor radio was a joint project between the Regency ... It was a scant five inches high and used four germanium transistors. While the Regency sold out everywhere, it didn't stay ...

securing a license to produce transistors was difficult in the early days. What’s worse is, even with the license, it was not feasible to use the crude devices in a radio.

The humble transistor radio is one of those consumer devices that stubbornly refuses to go away, but it’s fair to say that it’s not the mover and shaker in the world of electronics it might on ...

Before the MP3 was the Walkman and before that was the "tranny" - the transistor radio ... Nobody else ever seemed to have a radio with them. To have used a radio in school time would have ...

All handheld radios, as well as desktop radios, use transistors, both discrete as well as contained in chips. The transistor radio was one of the first consumer devices that employed solid state ...

It was used throughout the 1950s and 1960’s in a variety of electronic circuits, most notably for the first transistor radios. Further refinements led to the modern "field effect" transistor ...

In this guest commentary, military journalist Marc Yablonka takes us on a trip down memory lane, sharing some of the ...

Devices such as citizens’ band (CB) radios, walkie-talkies, and handie-talkies are two-way radios that can be used for interpersonal communications. Two-way radios consist of a transmitter, receiver, ...

Born in the Swinging Sixties, Quad’s famous 33 preamp and 303 power amp are back with a revitalized design and a classic ...

Although the first transistor was bipolar and the first silicon chips used bipolar transistors, most chips today use field-effect transistors wired as CMOS logic, which consume less power (see FET ...

A transistor is a type of semiconductor device that is used to amplify or switch electronic signals and electrical power. It is a fundamental building block of modern electronic devices and is ...

Paul Krause used to live in the village of Mishicot, but these days he calls the Ozarks home. In his email to us, he ...
