Description

The Romanța 59 S 581 A2 is a mains-powered tube radio receiver made in Bucharest by Radio Popular, the factory that became Electronica in 1960 [1]. It is one of the first receivers of Romanian design, built partly with imported and partly with locally made components [1].

It is a later version of the Romanța S 581 A, listed with it in the table of Radio Popular receivers with the same data [1].

In the source table, sensitivity is given for 50 mW output, selectivity at 1 MHz for ±10 kHz detuning, the audio frequency response at −6 dB relative to 400 Hz, and output power at 10% distortion [1].
