"super heterodyne" radio, for it's era it sure had great sound.

Is it politically correct to say that anymore??

Probably more so then if it was super homotrodyne

When did "necking" become "making out"? I recall wehn dad got a "super heterodyne" radio, for it's era it sure had great sound.

Don't know when it changed but I remember "necking" was old fashioned. We used "making out" and getting to "first base".

Bet you don't know what came before Super Het? I think it was TRF (Tuned Radio Frequency). As far as I know the industry still uses the Super Het technology in all receivers.

I think you're right, now it the standard. When it first hit radio it was really considered futuristic. You don;t hear monoraul anymore either. Back in the day you specified if it was monoraul or not.
