Abstract
A radio signal receiver having a demodulator circuit with a variable local oscillator is provided with a station selector including a record medium for storing frequency selection information at spaced locations thereon, a conversion circuit for reading the frequency selection information at a selected location by aligning that location with a reading assembly and converting the respective information into a signal for determining the output frequency of the local oscillator, and a signal generating circuit responsive to a lack of alignment of the reading assembly with a location at which frequency selection information is recorded for generating a signal indicating that such lack of alignment exists and which may be effective to cause muting of the output of the demodulator circuit.
