(have seen that a great amount of ‘entertainment can be drawn from it and have shown great interest in the Prograss of this, the newest and one of the mogt interesting of sclences, One merchant was asked by a rep- fosentative of the “Hergld," *Just what is the most popular type of sct in New Britain?" The dealer's answer was that a five tubg set sells best in this city and more, people @very day are becoming d us of having them installed. With the opening of the new Hartford station, WTIC, the crystal sot will epjoy a boom. There are sany people who are not especlally { interested in radio, that is, not jn- i« terested enough in it to spend $150 or so for a set. But with a erystal get which can be built for about '$5, the Travellers’ station will be heard ., clearly, \ . “People buy radio scts like they o automobiles,” sail one dealer, ‘MThey start offt with one of the smallest and end up with one of the biggest."” He sald a person with ‘a one tube set longs for a three fube set and so on up the line. No new devices of any great im- port arc foreseen by dealers. Tt is probable that a rectifier to take the place of “B" batteries will be placed’ on the market soon. (here arc several on the market at the present time, although the instrument has hot yet been perfected and there is much room for improvement, It is %expected that the coming year will seé a perfected instrument of this S type.

This change has been ¢ gradial and natural with the desire for something bigger in the way of 2 radio set, altliough most péople 'do not feel that they are capable of ‘running a nine tube xef, to say Dothing of constructing one. Dne type of set which has had a at run in this city is the reflex ,p‘g okup. This type has proved “popular here and has been a distance getter, Price for Every Purse Anyone can aftord a radio set. The prices range from $14 to $425 &nd the man with the $14 set stands = Jist as good a chance of Tearing djstant stations as the man with the $425 1 fustrument does, although, - of course, signals will not be as loud on the former. The average person, however, figures that $150 is g 1t enough to pay for a radio sot with all equip- ment, For {his pric lent. five tube set may be purchased, this type going as low as $65. The regenerative set has had a long run, but is g discouraged by the continued protests heard re- garding it in all parts of the coun- tr¥. One company has put on the ket a sct employing the regen- ative ' principle, which is non- reradiating. This means that the whistles heard by the operator when he tuncs in a station are being heard by himself alone, Interference Problems The regenerative receiver has proved great nuisance to radio listendrs and there was at one time a move on foot to have a law passed’ prohibiting its The squeals agd howls produced by these pecolvers at the hands of inexperi- encid operators has probably re- sutted in more dissatistactioy than any one thing ever has before. Tests conducted recently under the dircction of Station WIAM at Cleve- land showed that the whisties from’ these sets can be heard for a dis- tance of many miles, special oseflla- tors operated in Cleveland and vicinity having becn heard over one- quarter of the American continent, Another source of annoyvance to radio broadcast listeners has been the eicctric light power lines in this pity. In the western section of New Britain this roar and sputtering has been especially noticed and it has brought forth complaint from fans. Special sets have been placed on automobiles and the cause of some of the interference has been found, - The lighting company has expressed itself as ready to do any- thing to alleviate the difficuities and has done a great deal in the way of repairing leakages from wires and tragsformers, + European Stations Heard As for distance, New Britain fans Here are Values that should not be overlooked by any man.
