2026-05-31 How to properly tune the radio IFs for best sound quality
It is not a good idea to “peak” the IFs for maximum volume of a radio station. The radio should be aligned with a sweep generator connected to the oscilloscope. What you actually want is to tune the radio so the bandwidth looks flat topped with steep skirts. This gives your audio high quality. If

2026-05-24 I Built A Signal Injector
“”I saw this signal injector kit so I built my modified version of it on a PCB. Notice that they used two PNP transistors and a positive ground, presumably to get pulses that were positive going. I used an astable multivibrator with negative ground like normal and I changed the output transistor to a PNP,
