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

I have a "Science Fair" Regen receiver here which does the AM broadcast band
to 30 mhz. Personally, I think it sucks, but that's my opinion. I acquired
the full manual for it and am contemplating putting it up on E-Bay for
someone who may like Regens to play with. It "may" need the tuning touched
up a bit, but "I" don't have time. It's sat on my shelf for 99.8% of the
time I've owned it.
