This field strength meter consists of a tuned crystal detector producing a dc output voltage from a transmitted signal. The dc voltage is used to shift the frequency of a transmitter of 100-mW power operating at 1650 kHz. The frequency shift is proportional to the received field strength. This unit has a range of several hundred feet and is operated under FCC part 15 rules (100-mW max power into a 2-m-long antenna between 510 and 1705 kHz). (View)

The fax mate separates the fax machine from the phone line, rings the fax machine on com-mand, connects equipment to incoming lines, and senses the end of the message. When a touch tone pound signal (#) is detected, it actuates a ring greater and driver for the fax machine (the # signal is not used in ordinary dialing). The connect signal is inhibited for this time (ring cycle).1C46 runs for 15 s and drives part of the connect IC. Then the fax or modem has fired up and is sending out a handshake tone. IC6 connects the equipment for initial hookup and keeps the connect section powered. When the fax machine hangs up, the loop current detector turns off, and resets the system. (View)

It is often desirable for a single doorbell to be operated by two buttons, for instance, one at the front door and the other at the back door.The additional button, S2 in series with the break contact of relay Re 1, is connected in parallel with Lhe original bell-push, S1. When S2 is pressed, the bell voltage is rectified by D1 and smoothed by Cl. After a time, t= R1R2C2, the direct voltage across C2 has risen to a level here T1 switches on. Relay Rel is then energized and its contact breaks the circuit of S2 so that the bell stops ringing. After a short time, C1 and C2 are discharged, the relay retums to its quiescent state and the bell rings again.In this way, S1 will cause the bell to ring continuously, while S2 makes it ring in short bursts, so that it is immediately clear which button is pushed.

At the heart of the CD4-MX is an astable multivibrator, built around Q1 and Q2, that feeds step-up transformer T1. The out-put of T1 is rectified by D3 to D6 and used to charge capacitor C4. When the points colse, a small voltage is fed to the gate of SCR1, causing it to fire, dumping the charge of C4 to the vehicle's ignition coil. The circuit also contains optional subciruits to accommodate different types of auto ignitions.X15 + and X15 - are alternative trigger configurations for nonponit breaker ignition systems. R6 is not used for these systems and must be removed. Optocoupler U1 can be used (pin 4) in conjunction with X15 - or X15 + depending on polarity of sensor. Note that 60 to 70 kV is available from this system, so observe suitable safety precautions. (View)

The use of a switching transistor (like a 2N2222 or 2N3904) allows use of the CD4511B with a common-anode display. Ry should be chosen to provide about 1 mA to drive Q1 and Rx should provide enough current to drive the display. For this circuit, the transistor gain (HFE) should be at least the ratio of the segment drive current to the current through Rx (View)

The rectifier input is tied to the input. This makes gain inversely proportional to input level so that a 20-dB drop in input level will produce a 20-dB increase in gain. The output will remain fixed at a constant level. The circuit will main-tain an output level of ±1 dB for an input range of +14 to -43 dB at 1 kHz. Additional extemal components will allow the output level to be ad-justed. (View)
