Used to control low-power transceiver for 20-meter amateur band. Sidetone is obtained from simple relaxation oscillator using GED-13-T programmable UJT. Sawtooth output is attenuated and applied to input of two-transistor audio amplifier. Transmitter keying is done with series switch using 2N4036 silicon transistor. Antenna relay applies +12 V appropriately to transceiver stages used during transmit (+12T) and receive (+12R), and provides switching of antenna between transmitter power chain and receiver RF amplifier. Use DPDT relay with 800-ohm 12-V coil. Transmit receive logic uses μA741C opamp as differential comparator. When key is closed, 2.2-μF capacitor is discharged, making opamp output switch to high state and saturate 2N3904 relay driver, pulling in relay for transmit operation. When key is released, capacitor begins to charge; at 6-V point (about 0.5 s with 220K timing resistor), opamp changes state again and relay opens for receiving.-W. Hayward, Low-Power Single Band CW Transceiver, Ham Radio, Nov. 1974, p 8-17. (View)

Circuit limits opamp output swing in either direction to sum of zener- and forward.breakdown voltages of D1 and D2. With matched zeners, positive and negative limiting levels are symmetrical. With 10-V zenets, limiting occurs at 10.6 V (10.0 + 0.6 V) to allow linear t 10 V swing without saturating A1. R2 is selected according to gain requirement. Diodes are matched pair chosen to provide desired limit voltage, such as 1N758 for ±10 V output swing.-W. G. Jung, IC 0p-Amp Cookbook, Howard W. Sams, Indianapolis, IN, 1974, p 201. (View)

Developed for use with AC sensor in one leg of bridge. CA3094 is shut down on negative half-cycles of line. When bridge is unbalanced so as to make pin 2 more positive than pin 3, IC is off at instant that AC line swings positive; pin 8 then goes high and drives triac into conduction. Triac conduction is maintained on next negative half-cycle by energy stored in 100-μF capacitor. Bridge unbalance in opposite direction does not trigger triac.-E. M. Noll, Linear IC Principles, Experiments, and Projects, Howard W, Sams, Indianapolis, IN, 1974, p 313-314. (View)

Discrete components permit simpler readout, with any number of channels and any desired scan rate. Operates directly from 10-15 V power supply without regulation, and has low current drain. Can be used with either positive or negative logic from squelch circuit, so scanning can be stopped with either positive or ground signal. Any voltage from a few volts up will stop scanning. Q3 and Q4 form astable MVBR operating at about 10 pulses per second. Q2 turns on to stop MVBR when base of Q2 is high. Inverter Q1 provides proper polarity of signal to operate Q2. Q6-Q13 form 4-stage ring counter. Pulsing by Q5 serves to pass high output from stage to stage in endless ring pattern. When squelch stops pulsing action, counter stops stepping and output of one counter stage stays high, providing 5-V output for enabling corresponding oscillator and driving LED for that channel, Article gives connections to oscillator for almost any FM transceiver or receiver, along with modifications for changing scan speed and number of channels.-J. Vogt, Improved Channel Scanner for VHF FMJ Ham Radio, Nov, 1974,p26-31. (View)

The decoder IC7 cheeks the incoming pulse train for the correct address. If that address is present, the valid output terminal, pin 11, goes high for the 2 1/2-s duration of the transmitted pulse trains. When the valid output signal returns to a low state, timer lC8 is triggered into operation. The output terminal of IC8, pin 3, goes high for a time period of about 11 s, as determined by R22 and C35. That output, in turn, enables IC9, a timer configured as a 50-percent duty-cycle oscillator with a period of about 1/4 s. The output of IC9 drives a piezo buzzer, which produces an attention-getting audio signal that alerts the user that a door of the vehicle has been opened. Power to operate the receiver is obtained from a set of three AAA alkaline cells connected in series to produce 4.5 V. Current draw is only 3 mA during standby, so battery life will be in the hundreds of hours. IC10 is a voltage-detector IC that allows current to flow through LED2 when the battery voltage falls below 3 V. That alerts the user that battery replacement is necessary. (View)
