Very cool receiver. Interesting I.F. cans and side access. What frequency band does it cover? Show and tell time... ;D Here's my own 160M, 75 and 40M homebrew receiver. It's a superhet - has a multi tuned RF stage, product detector, AGC and two I.F. stages. Pair of 6AQ5 p-p output audio amplifiers. The front panel was made in 1972 using silver base and translucent blue. It was my first receiver. I salvaged the front panel and then built this one years later. The chassis was built in 1990. Nick-named the "GTO Blue Receiver." It still works FB, especially on hi-fi AM. I should get it back into the shack for duty with Commando. As Frankenstein, the ham, might say... "everything here is homebrew." T Title: Re: BGV-80 (80m receiver) Post by: F6BGV on May 03, 2022, 05:38:26 AM Jean-Pierre, AMfone - Dedicated to Amplitude Modulation on the Amateur Radio Bands
Very cool receiver. Interesting I.F. cans and side access. What frequency band does it cover? This is a small superhet for AM only on 80m (with 2 IF transformers in cascade for better selectivity). (EF89/ECH81/EF89/ECL86). Only for French QSO on 3600kHz (look at ARACCMA). I have also SX-100 and SP-600 (with home-made AF push-pull for broadcasts). Your receiver is splendid and very pro ! Bravo ! All the best Jean-Pierre |
