The simple technical design of the device restricted the reception of foreign broadcasters. During the night or with the aid of homemade additional antennas, the people's receiver could also pick up so-called »enemy stations«, but this was curtailed after the outbreak of war by the latest by means of draconian threats of punishment and even the death penalty.
