Abstract
A radio receiver of the is provided with a local oscillation circuit, a mixing circuit to perform a frequency conversion from a received signal into an intermediate frequency signal by using an oscillation signal generated by the oscillation circuit, an ALC circuit to detect a level of the oscillation signal and control the level of the oscillation signal at a specified value, and a switching circuit switch the operation of the ALC circuit from the operational state to the non-operational state and vice versa. The receiver thus constructed will not receive an influence from the image signal, and even when the receiver is used in an area where a strong interference wave is present, the receiver is able to operate the local oscillation circuit in a normal condition.
