Admiral Radio is a brand of electronic products that was founded in Chicago in 1924. The company started out as a manufacturer of phonographs and radios, and quickly gained a reputation for producing high-quality products.

During the 1930s, Admiral Radio became one of the largest manufacturers of radios in the United States. The company's products were known for their innovative design and features, such as built-in antennas and tuning indicators.

During World War II, Admiral Radio shifted its production to military equipment, such as radar systems and communications devices. After the war, the company returned to producing consumer electronics, including radios, televisions, and record players.

In the 1950s and 1960s, Admiral Radio continued to innovate, introducing new products such as the first remote-controlled television set and the first color television set with a built-in amplifier.

In 1971, Admiral Radio was acquired by the Japanese electronics company, Panasonic. The Admiral brand was eventually phased out in the United States, although it continued to be used in other parts of the world.

Today, the Admiral brand is still used in some countries, particularly in South America, where it is known for producing high-quality electronics at affordable prices. The company also produces a range of other products, including air conditioners, refrigerators, and washing machines.

AI Technical Trustability Update

While working on an update to my RF Cafe Espresso Engineering Workbook project to add a couple calculators about FM sidebands (available soon). The good news is that AI provided excellent VBA code to generate a set of Bessel function plots. The bad news is when I asked for a table showing at which modulation indices sidebands 0 (carrier) through 5 vanish, none of the agents got it right. Some were really bad. The AI agents typically explain their reason and method correctly, then go on to produces bad results. Even after pointing out errors, subsequent results are still wrong. I do a lot of AI work and see this often, even with subscribing to professional versions. I ultimately generated the table myself. There is going to be a lot of inaccurate information out there based on unverified AI queries, so beware.

dB Control dB-9006 Magnum Opus Synthesizer - RF Cafe Website

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling 2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps while tying up your telephone line, and a lady's voice announced "You've Got Mail" when a new message arrived...
