This circuit is a simple JFET-based, variable-frequency oscillator that can be used in receiver or transmitter circuits. The circuit is very stable; hence, if good-quality components and appropriate construction techniques are used, there will be very little drift in frequency. The component values listed in the table will give you a starting point to set up the oscillator to cover a desired frequency range. Inductor L1 is wound on a T50-6 toroidal core using #26 or #28 enamel-coated copper wire. The oscillator's frequency can be increased a small amount by removing a turn from the coil's winding; by the same token, the frequency can be decreased by adding a turn or two. After you have achieved the desired frequency range, cover the coil with a clear plastic coating or coil dope to keep the coil wires from moving around and causing the oscillator's frequency to shift.

Collection of IC oscillators and dividers generates square waves from HF down to subaudible AF, along with markers up into VHF. Selectable oscillator section feeds fixed string of four divide-by-10 stages. Extra SN7490 divider can be switched in at various points along string to add divide-by-5 and divide-by-2 functions. LED in 1-MHz crystal stage indicates that circuit is oscillating. Second stage can be used with any external crystal up into low VHF range. Third stage accepts and conditions extemal sine or square input for feeding to divider chain. Extemal capacitor for fourth stage tunes square-wave generator from several hertz to several megahertz. Optional fifth stage is VCO for entire HF range up to 25 MHz.-J. Schultz, Updated Universal Frequency Generator, 73 Magazine, Nov. 1976, p 50-52. (View)

Output attenuator uses pot and switch to set output at any value within range of five decades. Circuit uses 741 opamp in Wien-bridge oscillator having four-element RC network in positive feedback path of amplifier (R6 in parallel with capacitor selected by S2A, and R7 in series with capacitor of S2B), so oscillation occurs at frequency where phase shift occurs.
