LW/SW intercept receiver - this page is a stub

BURUN-1 (Russian: БУРУН-1) is a fully transistorised digitally-controlled PLL-based VLF/LW/SW communications receiver, built from 1985 onwards at the MUSSON factory in Sevastopol (Crimea, USSR). It covers 10 kHz to 30 MHz and was intended for use aboard ships, often in combination with a Corvette (КОРВЕТ), Brig (БРИГ) or Bark (БАРК) transmitter. The receiver reportedly has good characteristics, but is notorious for its many electronic faillures, caused by vulnerable parts [2][3].
