Default Thoughts on a Regen RX?

Hi Group, I am entertaining building anohter regen. My first attempt,
although pretty, was a mediocre performer- using a 3 section compactron
tube.

Design goals a
1. plug in coils for band changing MW-20 MHz or so.
2. speaker level audio
3. smooth regen
4. prefer miniature tubes to octal.

Anyone care to post their favorite schematic/ links/ thoughts?

Tnx,

I'm guessing that thats the one from the GE book? I've not built that
one but have heard mixed reviews.
If you really want to build a stable and manageable kick-butter go
regen/superhet. The Regenodyne in its various iterations can be found
on the web and is highly recommended.
I'm just now winding up another revision of the George Grammar rig from
1941 with some added audio stages. I'm tickled (pun) with it! Another
one that is likeable is the ARRL SimpleX Super. I like old stuff and
have thoughts of building it with octals and plug-in coils
