Re: No hiss from speaker
Jim,

Thank you for all your input. I tried yesterday morning (before sun rise) and the two strong local stations just overwhelmed the dial so that no distant stations were heard. If I crank the sensitivity down so that the local stations are weaker the sensitivity is such that I still hear no “DX” stations. I will do your extra windings next to see if that gets me the local station at 1400. The local one at the other end of the dial is at 580 so I should have a way to check the band spread. We may just have to be happy with what we have. My next project for the grand son is a Chinese scanning FM receiver with a chip to solder in. It too may overload here in Traverse City but I suspect less so in Indiana. I can remember when there was only one FM station here in town. Now we can hear one at every spot on the dial and some interfering with each other depending on the weather. Just set up two prebuilt Pixies so I can practice Morse code between two rooms with friends. If you are into Morse and transmitting keyers check out the Morserino-32. It should be available early in 1QTR 2019. http://www.morserino.info/morserino-32.html I just built KC9ON’s 3CPO, another keyer that randomly sends Morse call signs and then you have to send it back. If correct it increases the sending speed by one WPM. If incorrect it decreases one WPM. https://kc9on.com/product/3cpo-code-practice-oscillator-keyer-trainer/ 72 my friend, Dave K8WPE since 1960...... yes, you CAN teach old dogs new tricks. It’s easy. You just teach the same trick every day as it is soon forgotten. David J. Wilcox K8WPE’s iPad
