English: The Néprádió was a Hungarian en:reference design for a cheap "people's radio". The original Horthy Néprádió emerged in the late 1930s, similar to the German Volksempfanger and the Italian Radio Balilla. This was a primitive two-tube TRF circuit built for receiving only strong local stations, and not fit at all for receiving remote stations - which was desirable by authoritarian governments. The original, first-generation Horthy Néprádió was built and sold by different domestic companies like Echo and Orion, and by Hungarian subsidiaries of Philips, Siemens, Telefunken etc.
The second, post-war Rákosi Néprádió was a more complex, four- or five-tube superheterodyne. The name persisted into the early 1950s.
