“Off the Shelf” Regen Receiver

[@propagating-radio]

You’re an RF wizard Bill. I’m always amazed with what you build.

So Bill, was the error only on your Schematic, or did you actually have a 2.7 ohm resistor wired in? 73 - Rick - N3FJZ

Rick: It was a schematic error, as Walter suspected. Upon inspection (after taking it off the shelf!) I found a 2.2 k ohm resistor (red-red-red) from source to ground. 73 Bill

Nice Bill! How was the performance before the resistor swap? 73 de PA1DSP

[@soldersmoke]

There was no resistor swap -- the error was just a mistake in my drawing of the schematic. I always had a 2.2 k ohm resistor at the source. 73 Bill

@@soldersmoke could it be that the 560 ohm base-gnd resistors of the two AF AMP transistors are actually 5k6? The biasing doesn’t work with 560 ohm. 🧐
