Talk:Reflex receiver

Image?
Where's the image gone? Any ideas? --Romanski 19:59, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

Image still missing... anyone knows where did it came from? Pablo Dotro - The Mage of the Many Shadows 16:56, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

 * The image is a "reflectional receiver" together with an audion. Both receiver ideas are mixed. Another image would be better. AndreAdrian (talk) 17:57, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

"The image is a "reflectional receiver" together with an audion." This is a meaningless statement. An Audion is merely an early Valve (Tube) detector. In fact the circuit shown uses a Crystal detector, therefore it is not an Audion. Perhaps you mean "Reflex" combined with "Regeneration"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gutta Percha (talk • contribs) 18:37, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

Clumsy Article
To an experienced electronics person, this is an embarrassing piece. Firstly the term "Reflectional" is never used. The device is simply known as a "Reflex Receiver".

Secondly, much fuss is made of the difficulty in building a Reflex, but this is misleading. Certainly the circuit must be correctly designed and constructed, but this is true with any circuit. A well designed Reflex will be well behaved, and is no more difficult to get working than any other complex set (a Superhet for instance).

The article would be much improved without the author's pretentious waffle regarding his difficulties in getting his set working.

Further, of the two reference schematics (FADA model 160, and GE model F40) radio, neither are Reflex sets, so why are they included?

 * I agree with all of these criticisms. I think the article should be moved to Reflex receiver as this is the WP:COMMONNAME and as Gutta Percha says, "reflectional receiver" is never used. -- Chetvorno TALK 21:27, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

Change article name to Reflex receiver?
I propose the article be moved to Reflex receiver, with Reflectional receiver as a redirect. "Reflex receiver" is the WP:COMMONNAME, here are some examples of usage:, , , , ,. -- Chetvorno TALK 08:01, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Done. -- Chetvorno TALK 22:32, 14 December 2015 (UTC)
