Off the Shelf on 40 SSB

Walter KA4KXX spotted an error in the schematic of my 2014 "Off the Shelf" regen receiver: The source resistor on the MPF-102 should be 2200 ohms, not 2.7 ohms. See:

Walter's e-mail caused me to take this old receiver off the shelf. In this video I put it on the 40 meter ham band and listen to some SSB. Watch and see how important it is to reduce signal strength with the RF gain control so as to allow for good demodulation.

After 10 years on the shelf the pencil markings on the masking tape had faded a bit, but I could still make them out, so they were still useful. Also, as I recall the "case" is from an old computer power supply. 73 Bill
