Abstract

A signal-seeking radio receiver is disclosed which can be manually programmed to receive a number of different channels in any combination with three bands with a minimum of switching circuitry. The receiver has pre-IF circuitry which includes at least one PNP transistor associated with each band, the base terminal of each transistor being connectable to one output of a solid state counter for controlling the band of operation of the receiver.
