Answer 2

wireless and radio are the same wireless is just an old fashioned name for a radio. a tuner is usually just a radio tuner without any speakers so it needs an amplifier and speakers to work.

Answer 3

Let's start with wireless, in the days when Morse code was used over landlines (telegraph) it was considered a wired system. Then came Morse code  transmission over the air waves, and it was called a wireless (telegraph) system, after that audio was put on the carrier wave, all of this was called wireless radio to this day the British still call it a wireless. So wireless and radio are the same.

Next the tuner:

A tuner is a radio that just tunes a carrier wave and demodulates the audio, plus has no preamp or amplifier built in. Usually considered a high-end piece of hifi equipment.
