BFO
Using
The
BFO.
However,
in order
for
your
BFO
to
act successfully
as
a substitute
carrier
two
conditions
must be
met.
First,
it must
appear
in the
IF, frequency
-wise,
ex-
actly where
the
station's own
carrier,
if it
had
one, would
be.
Second,
strength
of mod-
ulation
and
artificial
carrier must
be the
same in
that IF stage.
Both problems
are
considerably
simplified
in this instance
be-
cause
the living
-room
type of
all -band
(SW)
receiver
you
are now
being
forced to

LAST
IF STAGE
The
5-
to
1 0-mmf
capacitor reduces
detuning
of
IF
amplifier to
a minimum
but
after the
connection is
made last
stage should
be re-
peaked.
IF
signal goes
to
longwave
receiver
through
a short
length
of coaxial
lead.
AUDIO
OUTPUT
Doorbell
Silencer
Here's
a simple way
of
silencing that
door-
bell or
buzzer
so that
it
won't wake
Junior
taking his
afternoon
nap.
Pick
up a
small twist
switch with
threaded
shaft and
nut
for
panel
mounting
from your
hardware
store or "five-
and -dime."
Remove
the
cover or
housing
from your
doorbell
and
drill
a hole through
it large
enough to pass
the
threaded shaft
on
the switch.
Make
sure
the
switch body
inside
the
housing won't
in-
terfere
with
the bell
mechanism.
Remove
the
wire
coming
from
the
bell
transformer
from
its terminal
and connect
one of the
pigtail wires
on
the switch
to the
transformer terminal.
Then
connect the
transformer wire to
the other
pigtail wire
on
the
switch
by twisting
them
together and
taping.

is
not very
selective,
which
means
a range
of
signals
at least
10 kHz wide
(5 kHz on
each
side of
the
tuned
frequency) will
be
passed
on
to the
LW
receiver
with
their
comparative
strengths
unaltered.
Then
be-
cause
just
about
all
superheterodyne
sets are
blessed
with
AVC (automatic
volume
con-
trol),
you
merely
have
to tune the
LW
re-
ceiver
up
and down
those IF
signals
until
the
desired
modulation
becomes
readable.
However,
because of
the military
rig's
own
high
degree
of
selectivity,
the
amateur
sta-
tion's
modulation
level will
probably
be
weaker
than normal.
To
compensate
for
this,
push
the
LW's
audio gain
(volume)
well
up.
How
Good?
Now before
anybody
gets
delusions
of
grandeur,
we'll
level
with
you.
This
system
will
not work
as well
as
a regu-
lar
Ham receiver.
It
is intended
strictly
for
those who
have
inherited
(gratis)
one
of
those
highly polished,
so-
called
hi
-fi
sets, or
even one
of
the many
transistorized
port-
ables whose
shortwave
band has
been
added
just "for
luck."
On the
other
hand, when
you consider
that
such rare
amateur loggings
as
FK8AB
New
Caledonia,
CR5SP Sao
Tome,
a number
of Antarctic
stations,
etc.
(who
use
almost
nothing
but single
side
-
band),
we
think
you'll
agree
that
the
effort
involved
in
using
this inexpensive
converter
combination
is
well
spent.

However,
it

to do

Replace

and
have someone
press

so you will
know
if the
