Prior to the development of satisfactory methods of radio frequency amplification, it was necessary to take advantage of every iota of sensitiveness in the detector to secure the best long-distance results. But with constantly increasing technical knowledge and experience of radio engineers, it is now possible to make receivers capable of the utmost long-distance reception equipped without using soft detector tubes.
