I don't usually say much on the reflector about just having radio fun, but i have to on this rig. It is just a blast, I worked a station in Maine with my Bayou Jumper and I am still smiling. I am

Hi Gary, After you get you L1 situated again, report back to us with your voltage readings, and supply current also if you can measure it. How close to you is that broadcast station? Do you know

After checking for misplaced components, try replacing Q2, the MPF102 transistor. I blew one simply by picking it up off the bench with a static discharge from my fingers while I was building my BS

Gary Possibly something is amiss in audio stage. Make sure none of the electrlytic caps are backwards. Yes I have built a few regens that initially didn't work, of course it was builder error. Make

That's excellent to hear! Thanks for the update; I'll be sure to keep an eye on it so I can get one when they come in. Regards, Cierra

Hello Cierra We’re ordering parts and should have them back in stock in the next couple of weeks or so? Thanks 73 Johnny ACØBQ -- Check out the 4SQRP website at 4sqrp.com

Does anyone know when the 30m version of the Cricket might become available again? I'll probably get it in a few months if I can, along with the Cric-Key. Thanks, Cierra

how long have you had that battery Johnny :) bert

Ge William It’s a little test jig that makes the crystal oscillate so you can hear it in your BJ receiver. It helps you get zero beat. 72 Johnny ACØBQ -- Check out the 4SQRP website at 4sqrp.com

Johnny Being one of the newest builders of a BJ, I will ask the question. What is a Crystal Spotter?

I will try to check inventory tomorrow afternoon, have appointments in the morning. John Visit: www.zaarc.org. 👁

Ge group We are getting close to the release date for the Crystal Spotter Kits that Jim N5IB designed. I built a test unit yesterday and it works great! You can spot your Crystal 2 or 3 feet away

Oh, I forgot, my address is current on QRZ.Com John WH6DQU

Mahalo John! I would be more than happy to pickup the costs and shipping! Let me know how you would like to proceed. I have PayPal and Venmo for $$ transfers. John WH6DQU

Hello Gary Sorry for your troubles. After you get the coil moved, look for the oblivious stuff, missed joint, part in the wrong hole etc. Then run the numbers on the voltage chart in the manual. I

On Ebay you can find a large number of FT-243 crystal bodies that you can put crystals into or even find a few in the right range if you are lucky. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dick Wendell -

I finished my kit but ran into problems with the receiver. All I get is Brother Stair's AM shortwave broadcast blasting through. The audio becomes louder as I turn the Attenuator to the right. Regen
