Communications receiver
A
communications receiver
is a type of
radio receiver
used as a component of a radio communication link. This is in contrast to a
broadcast receiver
which is used to receive
radio broadcasts
. The difference between the two is that broadcast receivers only receive
broadcast bands
, such as the
medium wave
and/or
longwave
AM broadcast bands and the VHF
FM broadcast band
, while a communication receiver receives a wider part of the radio spectrum not used for broadcasting, that includes the
shortwave bands
. They are often used with a
radio transmitter
as part of a
two way radio
link for
shortwave radio
or
amateur radio
communication, although they are also used for
shortwave listening
.
