This converter uses a low-pass filter instead of the usual tuned circuit so the only tuning required is with the receiver. The dual-gate MOSFET and FET used in the mixer and oscillator aren't critical. Any crystal having a frequency compatible with the receiver tuning range may be used. For example, with a 3500 kHz crystal, 3500 kHz on the receiver dial corresponds to zero kHz; 3600 to 100 kHz; 3700 to 200 kHz, etc. (At 3500 khz on the receiver all one can hear is the converter os-cillator, and VLF signals start to come in about 20 kHz higher.)

A National Semiconductor LM2574 is used to derive 3.3 V at 0.5 A from a 5-V logic bus. The duty cycle is: VD = diode drop (0.39) VIND = inductor dc drop VSAT = saturation voltage of LM2574 (0.9 V typical) This circuit should be useful to derive 3.3 V for logic devices from existing +5-V buses.

The unknown resistance is put in series with a known standard and a current passed through the pair. The voltage developed across the unknown is applied to the input and the voltage across the known resistor applied to the reference input. If the unknown equals the standard, the display will read 1000. The dis-played reading can be determined from the following expression:Runknown
Displayed Reading= ___________ =×1000 RstandardThe display will overrange for Runknown, ≥2× Rstandard. (View)

This converter allows coverage from 25 kHz up to 500 kHz. Use short coax from the converter to receiver antenna input. Tune the receiver to 3.5 MHz, peak for loudest crystal calibrator and tune your receiver higher in frequency to 3.6 MHz and you're tuning the 100 kHz range. 3.7 MHz puts you at 200 kHz, 3.8 MHz equals 300 kHz, 3.9 MHz yields 500 kHz, and 4.0 MHz gives you 500 kHz.

This voltage-regulator/current-limiter combination can be made from two 7805 regulators as shown. R1, R2, and R3 should be selected for a 5-V drop at the maximum allowable current limit. S1 selects one of the three current values. Do not forget that U1 requires 5 mA to operate and this means that the minimum current limit setting should be 10 mA or more (R1 = 1.25 kΩ). Resistor values are as follows: (View)
