EDDYSTONE 898 DIAL RECEIVER This is my winter 2011 project. I managed to find a N.O.S. Eddystone 898 dial. These have always been popular for handbuilt designs because of:- robust construction, antibacklash gear train with 110:1 ratio flywheel loaded mechanism slide rule presentation (see manuf' data below) I have used the lowkey mag' Dec 2007 receiver circuit, but with a h-cmos inverter variable crystal beat frequency oscillator ref1: VXBFO ref2: VXBFO which uses two parallel'd xtals to get a useable variation in freq' and a well proven audio amp from a VK3XU receiver design. Using Vero board construction; 3 boards - RF section, Oscillators, Audio amp This is a work in progress {WIP}.
