40m Projects - Receivers

Click to enlarge"Lidia" 7MHz Direct Conversion Receiver by VK6FH
DCR is direct conversion receiver, i.e. detection by hetrodyning a frequency at or very near the receiving signals frequency. Results in a direct audio conversion "mixer product".

An interesting circuit appeared in the April 1961 edition of CQ Magazine; "The RXT-2," by W6MMC. This was a 40m regenerodyne receiver using three Philco transistors and one Raytheon CK-768.

Click to enlarge"The Virgin" A DC 40M Receiver by KK9JEF
My first HF receiver project is complete.
It’s not fancy. It’s rock-bound with no ability to QSY. It only has a single RF gain control up front. It’s direct conversion, so it hears all signals on both sides of its frequency.

Click to enlarge12BH7 single Direct conversion receiver by JF1OZL
I picked up many valves on the broken TV-sets on the street about 30 years ago. I got many 12BH7A on them. In these days (in the end of 1990's) I made a radio to receive 7MHz SSB and CW signal with these valves stocked.

Click to enlarge40m Band Direct Conversion Receiver by DL2YEO
Building a practical and usable direct conversion receiver for the 40 m CW band is not as simple as it might appear. Broadcast station signals from the adjacent 41 m band, will easily overload most direct conversion mixer designs ..

Click to enlarge40m Band Receiver without ICs by DL2YEO
Today it is very difficult or quite impossible to purchse components that are best suited for QRP circuits. Mixer ICs like the NE602/612, ceramic filters SFE7.02, RF power transistors up to 5W belong to this group.

By the addition of one integrated circuit and some passive components, I was able to convert my earlier developed 40-meter direct conversion receiver design into a superhet model.

The first regenerative receiver was invented by Edwin Armstrong in 1914 and was been a standard receiver both for commercial and in amateur use long before the spread of super regenerative receiver.

V7MHz band monitor scope by JF1OZL
I made a 7MHz band monitor scope. It exchanges all existing signals of that timing of 7MHz-band to viewer image like a hill on the oscilloscope.

Click to enlarge7MHz receiver by JF1OZL
One day on the second hand shop on my town, I found the FM tuner sold only with 10 dollars. That tuner was old type. The frequency display of it was not digital but made by a needle and a thread. I bout it and made SSB rcvr.

I decided to build this receiver, having become totally disatisfied with the TS120 receivers performance on 7Mhz.

V7MHz SSB to MW-AM convertor by JF1OZL
These days, they have hybrid-radio's named Mini-compo in every home. With this machine, you can hear 7MHz SSB signal by the MW-radio of mini-compo. Because MW-radio has no BFO, it cannot demodulate the ssb signal.

Click to enlarge7R1015BB “All PNP on Breadboard” Receiver by JH5ESM
A direct conversion receiver for 7MHz only made of single kind of general purpose PNP transistor is presented. No other semiconductor devices (even diodes!) are used. The circuit is built on a solderless breadboard so that it is easy to build, repair and modify it.

Click to enlarge7R3357 "Fujimino40", an AGC-less Superhet Receiver for 7MHz CW by JH5ESM
Once upon a time, there was an FM IF subsystem IC called MC3357. The IF section of MC/NJM3357 consists of five stage cascaded differential amplifiers and thus it works as an IF limiter. The objective of this page is to propose a CW receiver featuring AGC-less IF section.

Click to enlargeA regenerative receiver for the 40 m band by LA3ZA
I've had a lot of fun with the modified WBR (Wheatstone Bridge Regenerative) receiver which I built Manhattan-style some years ago. The design builds on the receiver described by Daniel Wissell, N1BYT in QST August 2001. Although it doesn't match a good superheterodyne, you get more performance per component than in any other receiver!

Klik voor vergrotingA Simple but Very Sensitive Regen Receiver for 40 Meters by KE3IJ
Here's a schematic of my version of the trusty old Regen radio. The heart of it is Q2, where I use a common JFET (Field Effect Transistor), an MPF102, in a modified Armstrong "tickler coil" design where I supply feedback from the "bottom"-- the Source of the JFET -- rather than the usual top -- the Drain of the FET. Works just as well either way.

Back in 2002 my then 7 year old son Austin wanted me to help him build a radio. At that time I helped him build a cigar box crystal radio set. He enjoyed that radio but since then he has taken a liking to CW ...
