Ben KC9DLM’s SolderSmoke Direct Conversion Receiver

Ben had to overcome some antenna problems, but as you can see here, he got it going.

He also had to overcome a capacitor shortage. He did it, using parts on hand. FB. Ben writes:

I forgot to order the 470uF caps for the audio stage, so I used some amusingly large 220uF I had in parallel.

Thanks Ben. Congratulations. 73 Bill
