Broadcast listening devices
Radio receivers are devices that detect and convert radio waves into audible sound or usable signals.
The term covers everything from simple AM/FM radios to sophisticated equipment for ham radio, aviation, or emergency services.
In everyday use, most people just say radio: Turn on the radio.
The plural form typically appears in technical or commercial contexts: The company manufactures radio receivers for maritime use.
