HOW-TO: Hear CW and SSB on a simple receiver

[Lightspeed]

If you are buying something why not just buy a SSB system and save all the hassle.

Hi SD

Good point.

Original idea ofthe thread was to explain how to allow inexpensive radios to pick up SSB and CW signals.

Lowest cost of SSB capable radios is in the region of 50 quid

It all depends on how tight money is.

The little BFO kit will work on any radio with a 455khz Intermediate frequency oscilator, so can be used to enable multiple low cost radios. This may include some AM capable CB radio's.... I'm researching this.
