Asset Overview
The Podhale radio was manufactured in 1957-1958. In terms of design it is an evolution of the Śląsk radio, which was produced in the same factory. The Podhale was the first Polish radio receiver allowing reception of ultra high frequency wave, thanks to the built-in, super-reaction tube adapter. The full UHF path wasn’t implemented until the Calypso radio, also produced by Diora. The Podhale also enables reception of radio signals in double ranges of short and medium wave, and it also has one long wave range and the possibility of switching frequencies to the local Warsaw I station. It uses frequency modulation (FM) and amplitude modulation (AM) systems. The receiver has automatic amplification adjustment and separate tone adjustment for bass and treble.
