2018-07-25 How Stable Are Regen Reflex Radios?

From the FB group Building Transistor Radios Regenerative / reflex designs are not as stable as superheterodyne radios. One problem is the design depends on factors that are not predictable such as gain and feedback, which are not linear. The regenerative reflex depends on the circuit being on the verge of oscillation, which is not

2018-07-24 “Boy’s Radio” Reflex Schematic

From FB group Building Transistor Radios Willie Barnett I see from the schematic that this is a reflex regen. They did something else that is very seldom seen, the volume control acts not as a normal variable voltage divider, but instead as a variable shunt load across the secondary of the driver transformer. This is

2018-06-20 Don’t Ask To Share Software!

From FB group Arduino Projects Marcos Tulio Junior I think it is unethical for others to expect the coder to reveal his IP (intellectual property). There is nothing wrong with asking the coder for a link to open source software. But you are out of line when you expect others to do for you what

2018-03-26 Reflex Receiver, 2 Transistor

For FB group Building Transistor Radios Darrell Darby (Schematic below) What amazes me is the collector load resistor for the earphone stage is 100k. That’s more than ten times higher than usual, and it’s okay because the crystal earplug is very sensitive. I would squeeze a bit more gain out of it by removing the
