I finally got my homebrew regenerative receiver to work..hand capacitance is not so much an issue.

[@mktwatcher]

Very good performing Regen. Nice Job

[@SimonsSolarShed]

Thank you so much for your nice comment in really appreciate it. I really enjoyed building it I still have plans to further refine it it's just that life gets in the way but now I do have a little spare time so its on the top of the list :)

[@StephenCooteNZ]

Thanks for uploading this. I’ve built maybe ten Regen receivers… some worked to a degree and others didn’t work at all. Dunno why. But I’m persisting and it is good to watch videos of successful projects like this one. I hope to use a regen receiver to have a few conversations on the ham bands when I finally make something that is sufficiently stable and sensitive. Best wishes from New Zealand. ZL3ABX.

@StephenCooteNZ Thank you so much for your kind comment it means alot. I too have built many regens over the years, I was out of the hobbie for a while so had to play catchup. I still have these urges to build regens I don't quite know why but I love them the simplicity and the surprisingly good reception and pretty good selectivity considering there is only usually a hand full of parts. I to want to build a little transceiver that's an itch I've yet to scratch lol. Please if you do build a regen I would be interested in seeing it, if that's possible, I like looking at other builds. Thank you once again for commenting all the best Simon 2E0HYP 🇬🇧

[@martintavarez6991]

Good luck!

[@martintavarez6991]

Hi, Simon. Both tubes will work work fine. I used a 3:1 transformer.

[@SimonsSolarShed]

Hi Martin thank you..I do have quite a few transformers that I have scavenged over the years,so it looks like I'm going to have to wade through lots of cobwebs and dust to get to them lol. Thanks for the clarification 👍

[@karlschulte9231]

I love regens. Made a couple dual triode type (6sn7) and a simple transistor. Now collecting parts for kitchin high performance regen. Ham radio is such a great hobby. 73 karl

[@SimonsSolarShed]

Hi Karl I was looking at your video again its really good 👍 hope your still tinkering mate

[@SimonsSolarShed]

Hi Karl this regen you built do you still have the schematics for it? I would be very interested in building it I'm not sure if you are a regular on KZbin but hope you get this message I could Google it but you may have some much more in depth knowledge in this area that would be of great use.kjnd regards Simon.

[@shanedaley8115]

Really good project! Well done on the build!

[@SimonsSolarShed]

Shane Daley thank you very much I appreciate your comment.it was a fun project.im in the process of building a simple 80 meter receiver using an ne602 and an lm386 ic I will post another video once I have finished.

[@bill-2018]

Very good, I like regen sets, simple yet work well. I made a single valve one from a kit aged 14, the Hear All Continents (H.A.C.). G4GHB.

[@SimonsSolarShed]

Yeah I love them too i cant seem to shake the bug they are awsome I'm planning more builds in the future if your interested in that kind of content. Thank you for your time watching my videos it helps me tremendously. If your not subscribed please consider it 2E0HYP si. If you have any videos of project like mine I would love to see them 👍

[@oldscoolgaming.5040]

its great when you build something you're self and it actually works.

[@SimonsSolarShed]

Brian Retro yes your quite right it's very rewarding.

[@radioopbowhunter5748]

Good job...keep up the good work

[@martintavarez6991]

Simon, You can also use a 120-12V or a 120-6V transformer.

[@SimonsSolarShed]

Pity I don't have one of those I don't think i will however get on 2m band and ask my ham freinds if they like have such a transformer.. thank you Martin :)

[@SimonsSolarShed]

I just looked you up on qrz..you've led a very interesting life by the sounds of it...it's nice to get a comment from the good old US of A I'm still playing with that regen in this video a box of my bits fell on it and broke it now I'm trying to repair it 😞 Nice to hear from you fellow ham 👍

[@karlschulte9231]

Put cap across pot wiper about .1uf or so. Even better is a throttle cap across tickler to ground. But overall nice job. 73 wa2kbz

[@SimonsSolarShed]

Hi Karl thank you for the tip I will keep that in mind,I'm planning another bulld and you're information will be of great help..2E0HYP simon.73

[@SimonsSolarShed]

I'm in the process of repairing this regen after a box of bits fell on it. That little tip regarding the .1uf cap across the tickler really did the trick thank you that was very useful indeed 👍

Late reply but yes I do beleive it is his name and call is on the schematic.

semua komponen berasal dari bin bagian saya tidak dibeli sebagai kit. semoga simon.

Where's the circuit diagram so I can build it too?

There you go hope this helps. And good luck

[@Berghiker]

@@SimonsSolarShed This is an old circuit. Built it years ago and could not get it to work. I am building the WBR receiver now. Much better circuit.

[@SimonsSolarShed]

@@Berghiker I couldn't get it to work at first hense my jubilation when I finally got it to work ;) yes it's an old circuit but this old circuit got me fired up again and now planning better builds.

[@SimonsSolarShed]

You have to find out why it does not work then make it work that's how we learn it was a challenge and I won lol

[@zeber127]

Красивая работа. Нет влияния рук на регенератор. Металлический корпус экранирует или двусторонняя плата даёт такой результат?

[@SimonsSolarShed]

zeber127 вы совершенно правы, спасибо за дополнение к моей сборке. Но это может быть намного лучше. с уважением симон.

[@zeber127]

dominion rule Большое спасибо за ответ. Теперь я знаю куда мне нужно двигаться. Нет предела совершенству )) Удачи.

[@SimonsSolarShed]

Спасибо Я собираюсь построить клапан regen следующий, когда я собираю бит вместе.

Will work fine 😂

Hi it would need a bfo "beet frequency oscillator" and possibly change the coil.it is possible.

I havnt come across a regen that does 29mhz,that's not to say they don't exist,I just haven't seen one.

​@Феруз Вохидов hi I just been searching online for a circuit and this interesting site I will post the link below my message.ypu may find this interesting.kind regards simon 2E0HYP sites.google.com/site/linuxdigitallab/rf-ham-radio/regen-high-performance-rigsites.google.com/site/linuxdigitallab/rf-ham-radio/regen-high-performance-rigsites.google.com/site/linuxdigitallab/rf-ham-radio/regen-high-performance-rigsites.google.com/site/linuxdigitallab/rf-ham-radio/regen-high-performance-rig

Just goto main site and scroll down to regen section..I'm very tempted to build his regen 3.

[@martintavarez6991]

You are an awesome builder! When I look at my awful construction techniques (a 6BF6 Morgan, see drive.google.com/file/d/0B7AnoMf_eQGwLXFnbjhBWHI2Qzg/view?usp=sharing) or my ill-built crystal radios, I wish I had the knack you have for building front panels and wiring the circuits! Contratulations!

[@SimonsSolarShed]

Martin Thank you very much for your kind words,but I have seen what I consider to be works of art on KZbin amongst homebrewers mine would pale into insignificance in comparison. although on my next build I will take what I have learned during this build and make the next one much better.i took a look at your link, there's nothing wrong with it you got it going and once you have completed and happy with it you can further refine it that's the beauty of rats nest construction. i like the fact your using tube technology something I hope to start tinkering with.keep doing what your doing you can only get better that's what I always believe.

[@martintavarez6991]

Thank you again. Yes, I am a nostalgic builder. I am 51, and I favor keeping the skill of building glowbugs alive. I actually feel more confortable building tube radios, but I have also built a couple of broadcast band and SW bands radios using the 2N2222A and the MPF102, and they worked like a charm. You can start with Alfred Morgan's one-tube regenerative receiver and then proceed to build a Twinplex or a Dorle set. Believe me, they run on almost any voltage and in my experience, the values components (tubes included) are not that critical. Building and tweaking Morgan's regenerative radio has been a very valuable experience and a most rewarding, fun endeavor for me. I wish you well, feel free to ask anything. (I do not prize myself in being an experienced builder, but my projects do work most of the times, and I am willing to share my experience with others.)

[@SimonsSolarShed]

Hi Martin :) are you still on KZbin I'm looking for a project to upload on my channel and what tubes did you use i hear 6sn7 is a good choice did it require any kind of transformers? Kindest regards Simon.2E0HYP
