Jerry, thanks for the hint. I gave the 2n2222 a try and now get signals. A big step closer to finishing. Now, I am going to rebuild the regeneration coil per Dave Cripe's suggestion. I think that

I found that a generic 2N2222 worked identically well to the Q1 transistor originally in this receiver. Try that, if you have one handy. On a slightly different related topic, has anyone ever tried

You can check if the transistor is fubar using dvm on diode. Curt KB5JO

Curt, I checked the coil sense---ok. I even removed the coil and rechecked the tinned ends and replaced the secondary "winding". Dave Cripe suggested privately that I should just rebuild the entire

Gwen, I replaced the gimmick cap with a variable cap and fixed cap in series to give me about 0-5pf. -- Dale Hardin, KS4NS Elberta, AL

Sometimes regeneration doesn't work because the sense of the coil wilndings is wrong. Be sure the coil looks line the one in the assembly drawing. There aren't many parts in the regeneration

Nice idea, Paul! 73- Dave, K1SWL

One thing that might be affecting regeneration is the "gimmick" capacitor C12. You might need more twists or fewer twists. I found it really changes the regeneration level a

Greetings! I built my Hilltopper 40 way back when, and built in an additional feature. The rig has no power switch, so I added a “power on” LED. That way I won’t forget to disconnect power to

The Bayou Jumper is SOLD and on it's way to the new owner. Thanks to everyone for the many responses. Bob Groh, WA2CKY

Thanks Johnny. I think he is already following this incident. BTW, this is the rig that a previous ham gave up on in frustration. You might remember his posts. I decided to take on the

Gm Dale See if you can get in touch with Dave Cripe, NM0S. His email is NM0S@... He designed this little bugger, I bet he can get you kick started. It might be best to email him direct. Be patient, he

I ran the troubleshooting voltages in the Assembly Manual. The battery voltage iws 8.434v. The following voltages are in list order: 0.000 0.889 7.849 0.615 3.454 2.772 4.815 Looks like the voltages
