Well I finally found all my wiring errors and today I fired it up and low and behold it worked. It will give you at least 10 db gain on the freq selected which works very good to help[ seperate cw sigs. Now my question, the schematic calls for a 5 meg dual pot which serves as a tuning or freq adjust contreol. This was hard to find in fact I had to send away for it. However the tuning control is very touchy and actually the pot is not used as a pot but as a reostate that is one end is not connected. Measuring the resistance At the point where it amplified a nice 700-1000 cy note , I found I was only using 78k of the 5 megs. Do you think the author meant .5meg which would seem much more likley. This schematic is to be found in most any rad am hdnbk from th 50's to the late 60's I have replaced the 5 meg jobberdo with a dual 1meg and the freq adjust is much better. Maybe some of you engineer types could look over this schematic and let me know what you think. 73 73 73 Thank the good LORD for all that you have!!! 67yr old semi disabled senior trying to get code speed to 13wpm (stroke got my eyesight, balance & coordination) SO ONLY BA'S NO SOLID STATE Leon (lee) Wiltsey 4600 Lake Haven blvd Sebring fl. 33872 KF4RCL TECK+

Does anyone have this information, or can anyone tell me of any "programs" that are available? 73 John
