Beat receptor

Pure WP:OR Tesla fan page. Page creator combined 100 year old+ primary source and unrelated sources to PUSH a claim that Tesla invented a "beat receptor", claim contradicted by (and actually not even found in) the prevailing current view.

Agree completely. Every reliable source says heterodyne ("beat") reception was invented by Reginald Fessenden and doesn't mention Tesla. The term "beat receptor" was never used for this device, but for the well known beat frequency oscillator. Even if sources could be found, this obscure device does not merit a separate article; anything that needs to be said about it should go in the Heterodyne article. ----Chetvorno^TALK 20:14, 20 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
