The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It is used with an antenna.
- The antenna responds to radio waves and converts them into tiny alternating currents that receiver applies, which then extracts the desired information.
- The receiver uses electronic filters to separate the desired radio-frequency signal from other signals picked up by the antenna, an electronic amplifier to increase the signal power for further processing, and finally recovers the desired information through demodulation.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Radio receiver article was read about 49,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 70 and blocks with 69: each hit it takes is cut by 28 %.
