PLL_CODE_REGENERATOR

Published:2009/7/11 3:13:00 Author:May

Permits comfortable listening to CW signals deeply embedded in noise, hash, and interference, by detecting one particular CW transmission and keying independent oscillator with its signal. Consists of signal amplifier Q1, narrow-band PLL frequency detector and trigger U1, PLL function generator U2, gate Q2, and AF output amplifier U3. In absence of triggering signal, output pin 8 of U1 presents high impedance to ground. With trig-gering frequency, output presents low impedance to ground. Oscillator U2 is gated by un through Q2.-C.

DIODE_CHECKER

Published:2009/7/11 2:46:00 Author:May

Requires only one resistor, two LEDs, and any small power transformer providing 3 to 25 VAC. If diode under test is open, neither LED lights, lf diode is shorted, LED1 lights on one half-cycle and LED2 on other half-cycle, so both appear lit continuously. If diode is good, LED1 will light if anode of diode is toward transformer, and LED2 will light for other polarity of diode. Choose resistor to limit current through LEDs to about 10 mA.-M. D.
