I'm a little worried this article has become overmerged. There was once receiver (electronics) which made sense for some applications; there should also be receiver (telecommunications). Both are different than the receiver appliances that are discussed in this topic. -- Mikeblas 20:16, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

I would agree, in that a discussion of what we used to call a "Hi-Fi Receiver" (integrated receiver) has seemed to overwrite the basic "radio" receiver

a break out of

• Receiver (radio)
• Receiver (High Fidelity) or (audio)
• Receiver (communications)

would not IMHO be out of line, with links to each other of course. cmacd 14:55, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

I've removed some interesting text from this article about the history of radio. While unreferenced, it was pretty welll-written. I think it would be far more appropriate at the Radio article, which has a "History" section. -- Mikeblas 19:06, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Contradiction

Receiver (radio) "The first integrated stereo receiver was made by the Harman Kardon company, and came onto the market in 1958. It had undistingushed (sic) performance..."

Harman Kardon "One year after its founding, harman/kardon introduced the world's first true high-fidelity receiver, the Festival D1000. This monaural unit was not only aimed at non-technical consumers but also incorporated many now-familiar features such as the incorporation of a tuner, component control unit and amplifier on a single chassis."

I find on one hand ascribing "undistinguished performance" to the Festival D1000 in Receiver (radio), and then at Harmon Kardon labeling the Festival D1000 to be a "high-fidelity receiver" to be contradictory. - MSTCrow 03:14, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
