Radio frequency application is no
proof against local oscillation. But
tuned radio frequency is--and even
this to q certain extent.
For a good three-tube set. with a
stage of radio and one of audio fire.
quency amplification. therefore, 1t Is
advisable TO use tuned inductanc',
rather than a radio-frequency trans
former in the plate Of the first tune
and a similar inductance in the
aerial circuit.
This is the principle upon which
this weeks hook-up Is based. To in
sure further against any possible
squeals or bowls, a potentiometer is
placed across the filament circuit OF
the radio-amplifying tube. The re-
suit is a stable, rsdio-audio frequency
amplifier with practically no loss in
selectivity and volume.
The parts of this set include:
Two fixed couplers Of to 4 ratio.
Two variable condensers, 13-plate.
One sudio.frequency transformer, A
10 l ratio.
Two 6-ohm rheostats.
One 400-ohm potentiemeter.
Three tube sockets.
One variable grid leak and con-
Genser.
One single circuit phone jack.
No. II cooper wire for connections.
Cost Is Low.
This, excluding tubes. batteries
and loud speaker, should not cost
more than 500
The two fixed couplers in the
aerial and in the first tubes plate
circuit are exactly alike. They can
be made as follows:
On a tube Q IL inches in diameter
by 2 inches high, wind II turns Of

the same wire, the came way. on an
other tube of slightly larger diameter

braces or screws, so as TO keep then,

other.

lance.
The connections are made as
shown in the diagram. They should
be rs short and direct as possible.
The best way to connect these in
ductances is to attach each to its
condenser by q brave. Care should
be taken. that the inductances> are
at right angles TO each other.
Thirteen-plate condensers have
been found of best advantage in this
hookup. Their capacity would b.
around .00025 mid.
Double Duty.
One rheostat Of 6 chms resistance
is used for both radio and audio am.
plifying tubes. and a similar rheo.
stat is employed for the detcctor
tube.
The grid lead should vary between
and 2 mesohms and the grid con.
denser should have q capacity oil
about s0005 MID.
The regular round No. IA copper
wire Is advised for the leads, instead
of the rectangular bus wire, because
the square edges Of the bus wire are
conducive to radiating losses.
This set is best adopted to the use
Of Uv-200 tube for detector and Nv
201-A tubes for the amplifiers.

tive Of 45-volt B battery. although
this may be increased to 6 71-2 81
even 80 volts. if more volume is de.
sired. With the increase in volume
it must be remembered. there comes
a sacrifice in selectivity.
The tuning Of the set depends al
most wholly on the two condensers
whose highest efficiency will be found
at almost similar readings. But tn.
potentiometer comes in for extremely
careful adjustment. the moment 8

this is taken care Of, however, il will
be found that the set will work wei
without further adjustment.
