Yeah Frank, that volume pot wiring is confusing as hell. If the output is the wiper (which usually is) but the wiper is going to chassis which is also the B-side. We know that the B- has to complete several circuits but why isn’t one of the end nodes going to ground instead. It’s even weird that the volume pot is wired in the RF circuit instead of being wire closer to the output circuit. I got the schematic from Nostalgia Air and was hoping a knowledgeable viewer could clear up this mystery.
I have the Hurricane Intelligent AM medium Wave Transmitter without the Bluetooth and remote (all optional), ships from UK. No radio reception where I live. Thanks for watching and your compliment.
What a cute radio and sounds ok to me. The wiring of the vol pot is weird. I guess engineers love to dazzle us with their brilliance lol

Hey Ken, nice video. What type of AM transmitter do you have?
