The word receiver has a number of different meanings: *In communications and information processing, a receiver is the recipient (observer) of a message (information), which is sent from a communication source (object). Receivers decode messages. *A receiver (radio) is an electronic device that receives a radio signal from a transmitter and converts it to useful information in the form of sound, pictures, computer data, navigational position information, etc. An external receiving antenna (electronics) may be required. *A receiver (electronics) is a combination of a radio broadcast tuner and an amplifier for the speakers, as well as selection for sources such as a compact disc or compact audio cassette, and adjustments for audio, such as a graphic equalizer or basic tone controls. *On a telephone, the "receiver" is the handset, particularly the earpiece. *A receiver (firearms) is the part of the firearm that houses the operating parts of the gun. *Receiver (in American football): a wide receiver or tight end *Alcohol receiver, or alcohol-receiver, refers to the receptacle for receiving alcohol after distillation. ==See also== *receivership, receipt
Even though "radio receiver" is technically correct in regard to things like television receivers, navigation receivers, etc., in normal speaking and writing the latter are not usually referred to that way. Consequently I added a brief description of the electronics usage of the term prior to the cross reference for "radio receiver." - Palmpilot900
