The Radio Gods seemed to be trying to balance things out. There is a LOT of radio mojo in Rick&#8217;s Lakeside receiver. Not only does it eschew digital synthesis of the VFO signal, it goes a step further and uses a permeability tuned oscillator &#8212; very cool. The component and material sourcing adds more luster to the rig. Rick writes: <\/b><i><b>&#8220;A lot of the components used to construct the LS-40 were harvested from discarded consumer electronics I collected back in the 1980&#8217;s. The base substrate material for the Manhattan style construction, as well as the RF tight enclosure for the PTO, is made from a flattened out tin plated food can. All components are discrete; i.e. no IC&#8217;s or CPU&#8217;s.&#8221;<\/b><\/i> <\/p>\n<div> <i><b><br \/><\/b><\/i><\/div>\n<div> <b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.remmepark.com\/circuit6040\/\">Rick has launched a blog.<\/a> He has some amazing stuff on it.
