N8NM’s “20 Dollar Bill” DC Receiver

I call it “The $20 Bill” because it contains about $20 in junkbox parts and complies with Bill’s discreet component, hardware defined radio ethos.

Excellent Steve. Very nice.

Your post caused me to fire up my DC RX — I was listening on 40 earlier today. I think the world needs MORE 40 meter direct conversion receivers.


Too bad about the regulator IC chip. We need to get you an 8 volt Zener so that you can bring that receiver into a state of discrete component purity.

DISCRETE HDR FOREVER!
