Email prompts Bill to pull his regenerative receiver off the shelf!

Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, Bill Meara who shares the following article from the excellent SolderSmoke Podcast blog:


2014 “Off the Shelf” Regen Comes Off the Shelf (Two Videos)

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 you can listen to it in action on the shortwave broadcast bands. In a second video I put it on the 40 meter ham band and listen to some SSB.

    i wished there were kits like this regen for sale with those air variable capacitors included, with enough info to get coils built for full coverage from 3.5 mhz to 30 mhz
