tuner
Frequency-selecting radio component
A tuner is a device or person that adjusts something to proper pitch or frequency.
A piano tuner adjusts string tension for correct pitch.
An electronic tuner helps guitarists tune their instruments.
In audio equipment, a tuner is the component that receives radio signals and selects stations: an AM/FM tuner.
A tuner can also be an aftermarket part that modifies engine performance: a performance tuner for his truck.
