Superheterodynes and tuned radio
frequency receivers are the eventual
! goal OF most set builders in radio. For
the beginner, the usual start should
be with a one-tube set. application
coming later. One of the encouraging
things about radio for the novice is
mat the ultimate set may be built
on the installment plan, yet give en-
tertainment from the moment that
the initial unit with a single tube is
assembled.
In the realm Of one-tube sets, the
foundation for the big set later on,
there are many freak or trick circuits
each having a following of boosters.
The little points of difference between
the majority of these circuits usually
rests In the manner in which regener-
alton is secured. The best circuits
use regeneration. without which 1t is
next to impossible to tune through in
reference, or bring in distant stations.
Regenerative Feedback.
The ultra-audion circuits, known
under a variety of names and very
popular a few years ago, secure re-
generation by the direct method, but
as this is used with single circuit
receivers as a rule, it is not selective
enough for present-day needs. The
variometer in the plate circuit method
is good, but requires additional space,
and the purchase of additional ap-
paratus. The capacity feedback method
is good but also requires an additional
instrument.
The ticker method of regeneration
is very popular and can be secured by
the use Of a small rotating coil inside
of the tuning inductance The three
circuit tuners, OF which there are a
number of popular makes on the
market, use this form of securing a
feedback. This type of re-
ceiver is by far the easiest and cheap
est to build. when selectivity and DIX
reception are taken into considera-
ton.
