FR146 • 4 INTR ODU C TION TO TH E FR 146 FM REC EI VER Most Ramsey kits can be classified as “Skill Level 1”. That means that our kits are intended to be sucessful for first-time kit builders. This FR146 FM Receiver is best regarded as a “Skill Leve l 2” project (or at least Level 1.4 6!) and should not be ta ken lightly, even by experien[...]

First, we install parts in p hysical relationship t o ea ch other, so there's m inima l chance of inserting w ires into w rong holes. Second, whenever possible, we install in an order that fits o[...]

FR146 • 15 PROGRESS SUMMARY So far, you have wire d t he tuned input from the antenna, the RF preamplifier, and the SA602 mixer- oscillator, including the vara ctor tuning circuit. The work you have done has actually formed a simple receiver capable of tuning in VHF signals of all kinds and converting them to a low-level 10.7 MHz ou tput t o be a[...]

FR146 • 20 Locating the LED immediately above the on-off switch is logical and ideal. The simplest way to make a good installation is to drill a neat hole ju st slightly smaller than the diameter of the LED. Then, en large the hole a little bit at a time just enough to let the LED be pressed in and held firmly . The resistor may be connected to e[...]
