VE7GC Popcorn RF Preamp

Here is an easy RF preamp by Dick Pattinson, VE7GC. It uses a single tuned circuit at the front end and can connect directly to a mixer or product detector in a simple receiver project. Note how Dick provided adjustable RF gain control for this circuit in his Wee Willy project on this website. If you can not find Tak Lee green 10.7 MHz IF coils, probably any other brand of 10.7 MHz slug tuned IF transformer would work. The Mouser catalog number is 421F123 . If your 10.7 MHz IF coil has a built in capacitor at the base , remove it. A fixed inductor may also be wound using a powdered iron torroid core and then all or a portion of the C1 capacity would be made variable. The input impedance is 50 ohms and the output impedance is low due to the Q2 emitter follower stage.
