A diode with a forward voltage drop as low as 0.25 V may be configured by interconnecting the base and emitter of a Germanium transistor.


Basic Shunt-fed Crystal Radio

It's an ideal detector for a shunt-fed crystal radio.

    Hello gentlemen and Ladies. I have the dreaded RCI-2990 receive issue where my radio gets distorted when people get close to my location. I found the C90 Capacitor, but I can not for the life of me find the C89 capacitor. Can or does anyone have a picture of the exact location of C89 ? Thank you in advance, Wes
