R-326
is a Russian portable HF-receiver with tubes.
It was issued in the late 60s as "secret".
It can be operated with the accompanying PSU WS-2,5M, or with inserted batteries.
The solid aluminium housing has leather seals.
The IF- bandwith can be controlled between 3000 and 6000 Hz.
the AGC (automatic amplifying control) causes: if the antenna current changes for 60 dB
(1000-fold), the NF- output changes only for 10 dB.
The most important operational elements on the front are:
Switch for the frequency ranges;
Frequency setting is either coarse by the rear knob; and fine with a gearing by the
front knob.
Finetuning can be watched by a reflected picture on a milkglass screen. The numbers are reflected by a
mirror system.
This fine scale can be corrected electrically and mechanically.
The both lower knobs are loudness (left) and band width (right).
The connectors are line (left) and headphones (right).
