I watch videos of people tuning regens and it looks like they fighting a wild animal I much more enjoy a fella like you tuning with your ears as much as your hands
Like one I built when I was 13, about 64 years ago. As I recall the regeneration control actually is a sensitivity control. Listening to am, to maximize sensitivity/amplification you tweak it as close to oscillation and you can get without it actually oscillating. If it is cw (morse code) it has to oscillate to beat with the incoming signal to make it audible.
Hi Mike, yes, you're remember correctly. The radio becomes most sensitive right before it breaks into oscillation. It also becomes more selective. This was just a quick video. In reality, the fun part is having patience and tweaking the most signal possible out of some far away station.
@@michaelsimpson5417 I remember picking up a Australian short wave broadcasting station ~6 Mhz from California--just as you say, took delicate tweakage.
I got the music from here: www.free-stock-music.com/search.php?cat=16&mood=5&license=&bpm=&length=&keyword= Unfortunately, I can't remember what song it was.
you'd be amazed at how long them batteries....will last....the D batt's probably run the filament, and the stacked 9VDC (9 times 5 equals 45) gives the 45 volts....peanut/battery tubes, don't draw that much juice....the radio might work at 30-35 volts even....breadboard radio here....excellent...
