NO CHANGE IN DETECTOR NEEDED TO
ADD STAGE OF TUNED RADIO FREQUENCY
BY ISRAEL KLEIN
NEA Service Radio Editor

Tuned radio frequency has been
found the most economical means
of radio application.
It is not only cheaper than the
tranformed-coupled radio fire.
quency, in that a single stage of
the former is equal to two Of the
latter, but it is easier to operate.
Going even further than mere
tuned radio frequency, a clever
little hook-up has been devised by
which either outside antenna or
loop may be used in reception.
For distance, when the atmosphere
is clear, the outside antenna has
been found to best advantage. But
the loop has given better satisfac-
ton when static interfered, or
when local interference was espe-
cially troublesome.
The hook.up that follows is de-
signed for both these forms of an
tenna. It's parts consist of the
following:
CT and CO, two 11-plate variable
condensers.
IL, special tapped coil.
Ii, one L-50 honeycomb coil.
P, one 200 to 400ohm potent
oneter.
r, one 6-ohm rheostat.
One tube socket.
One switch and eight switch
points.
Seven binding posts, bus wire
and small spool Of No. % DEC
wire.
The two condensers should be
mounted on opposite sides of the
panel.
Coil Ii may be the primary Of
a variocoupler, or 1t can be made
by winding sixty turns OF No. %
Dec wire on a tube three and one
half inches in diameter. 1t is
tapped at every fifth turn, up 10

tap open as a terminal for loop

The last point may produce one of
the most important discussions at
the conference. The questions
whether one dominant station or
series Of stations should be permit
ted TO broadcast over the whole
country at the same time, almost 10

out heated talk on both sides.
In the course Of these discussions,
it is expected, will come suggestions
on the best way TO permit nation
wide broadcasting by relays in the
cheapest possible manner. At pres
ent relay broadcasting is feasible
about as far as the Middle West.
starting from the dominant stations
in the East. Cost Of long distance
wire service is almost prohibitive for

Using by radio, distribution Of wave
lengths, classification of stations,
time divisions, interference. amateur
difficulties
In fact. every phase of radio
transmission and reception is TO be
taken up for serious consideration
and solution at the third national
radio conference, which Will be
opened here on the night Of Oct. s.
The conference has been called by
Secretary Of Commerce Hoover, pri-
marty to find a more equitable
means for distributing wavelengths
or frequencia1 among broadcasters,
amateurs, commercial, ship and Gov.
eminent stations. The first two con-
ferences, also designed for this pur-
pose, did not look far enough ahead
to allow their findings to continue
practical.
In the face Of difficulties encoun-
tered by overlapping of wavelength
limits, and the increase of broadcast
ers, amateurs and other stations. De
partment of Commerce officials have
found it necessary to redistribute the
frequencies on a wider basis. To do
this the conference here will be open

Interference

Only by free discussion Of the vari-
Gus situations in the industry, it is
realized, can anything like q perma-
nent program be reached.
Interference among brOadcasters,
amateurs and ship stations has come
to such a pass that only by getting
spokesman from all types Of radio
application together can this prob
lew be thrashed out TO suit all.
Amateurs especially have been
whipped about from one class OF
wavelengths 10 another. Given more
freedom recently in a short wave
schedule. the amateurs found them
selves confronted with opposition
from various commercial stations
and special broadcasters, who also
have been permitted to use low
wavelengths or high frequencies.
Broadcasters have found difficulty
among themselves, with more sta
tons cropping up at points already
crowded with broa dcasters, with
calls for more advertising and llmi-
tations in this field, and with efforts
to spread their own propaganda
from coast TO coast
