Had a few parts laying around
So I put them together and ended up with this a one tube regen. With the bench supply and a long wire it hears as good as AA5 just not as loud. I've often wondered how well a very simple set would work I've been pleasantly surprised. Selectivity is good even with strong station near by. Will run well with 3- D cells and 5- 9v batteries. Was able to catch The Great Gildersleeve the other night out of Canada with any problem. Want to add a few more parts to improve the circuit. A throttle cap may help it regenerate at a lower plate volt and a choke in the headphone lead as I'm getting a little interaction when I touch or move them.
