A Simple Regen Radio for Beginners（一个简单的回复无线电初学者）.pdf

By Charles Kitchin, N1TEV A Simple Regen Radio for Beginners Need a simple, fun project possibly for a Scout Radio Merit Badge? This project is a great way to introduce kids of any age to electronics and shortwave listening. ere’s a low cost, simple-to-build, portable shortwave receiver. Its design is noncritical and the receiver is H easy to get going. With it, you can receive dozens of international shortwave broadcast stations at night even indoors using a 39-inch whip antenna. This little radio is perfect for discovering ham-band QSOs, news, music and all the other things the shortwave bands have to offer. Although this little receiver is quite sensitive, it naturally won’t match the performance of a commercial HF rig, and if you’ve not used a regen before, you’ll have to practice tuning the radio but that’s part of the adventure. Most of today’s experienced “homebrewers” got their start by building simple, fun circuits just like this one. You’ll gain experience in winding a coil and fol- lowing a schematic. As your interest in radio communication develops, you can build a more complex receiver later. The little receiver requires only a single hand-wound coil and consumes just 5 mA from a 9-V battery. At that rate, an alkaline battery can provide approximately 40 hours of opera- In this version of the receiver, a prototype PC board is used; tion. The sound quality of this receiver is excellent when using it is not directly representative of the currently produced Walkman headphones. The radio can also drive a small speaker. board, although they are similar. In this view of the receiver, the antenna has been removed. The TUNING capacitor is at To simplify construction
