  • AM/FM stereo car radio.

    Claimed as the first all British designed and built car AM/FM stereo radio, the Radiomobile 1190FMS features an interference rejection circuit module in the FM stereo tuner. Known as AIR, active interference rejection, this module is their latest development in combating the problem of interference. The set has an output of 5W per channel with a bass/treble tone control. The six button tuner, combined with manual tuning, permits simple pre-setting of any three FM, two medium and one long wave stations.

    The tuning ranges cover;

    87.5-104MHz FM.
    525-1620kHz MW.
    50-275kHz LW.

    Provision is provided for a tape input with a sensitivity of 30mV for 5W output per channel. In this connection Radiomobile later introduced the 306CSD Auto Eject Stereo Cassette.

    Semiconductors: 39 transistors, 3 ICs, 22 diodes
