Best Answer

The "tuning capacitor" in a radio is involved in determining the frequency of an

oscillator somewhere in the radio. As that capacitance is varied, the frequency

of the oscillator changes.

If the radio device is a transmitter, then the frequency on which it's transmitting

changes.

If the device is a radio receiver, then the frequency of the internal "local oscillator"

determines the frequency that will be selected, out of everything coming down from

the antenna, and then processed, detected, amplified, and filtered, for your listening

pleasure.

What is the function of input and output coupling capacitors CC1 and CC2?

We don't know much about the circuit these capacitors are in, but they are coupling capacitors. Coupling capacitors isolate DC between stages or circuits, and they couple AC between those circuits or stages. Only the signal gets in and goes out. The DC the stage operates on is isolated from stage to stage.
