Since the Li-Po battery pack of correct size is not easy to find, I modified the circuit a little bit to be compatible with rechargeable Ni-MH battery of 8.4 volt. The amber LED is used to decrease supply voltage about 1.8V. The overall current of about 6mA will be good for the LED, and it also can be used for power supply polarization protection. I also found 300 ohm will not be good for his radio since 1uf will filter too much higher side of audio spectrum. I also found the iPhone headset has impedance a bit more than 40 ohm and it is good for higher gain in this circuit.

If I may, I would call it inline receiver or TTR (Tiny Toy Receiver). The reason for inline is that it is actually connected between antenna cable and headphone cable.

Thanks,

Correct. The 1uf will filter the supply. 64 ohm means 32 ohm + 32 ohm. If you use voltage like 6V or higher, you can also use 300 ohm + 300 ohm like HD600 to achieve higher gain.

I know it is hard to believe but just give it a try and let me know if something goes wrong.

Hello Adam.

Some questions about your circuit.? First I see no information about the tuned inductor.? What did you use?? Second,? you have an X through a .01uf capacitor on the collector/output of the transistor.? Does that mean that collector goes directly to ground? Or does it mean the entire connection including ground is removed?? In looking at it, it looks a lot like most of the direct conversion receivers I have seen, with the exception of the transistor rather than an LM386 audio amp.? Chuck Adams did a group project of a direct conversion receiver and provided gerbers for buying your own pc boards on his email group (qrp-tech).? He used a toroid for that input coil.? Granted,? it also uses an LM386 audio amp so might not be as friendly to a 3.5 volt battery but works well on a 9 volt battery.

Thank you for the idea.

Gang,

Here I show you my recent project.

Inspired by the receiver portion of VK3YE’s tiny toy CW transceiver (search YouTube videos to know more about this radio), I wanted to build a small receiver with minimal amount of parts but still give good result. Also, I tried to build the radio with a battery pack, so I can take it everywhere and plug in headphones and antenna, even without switching the power, i can immediately receive. And here is the result: a radio with only 12 parts including the battery pack. I powered it by one cell of Li-Po battery and the voltage (3.6-4.2V) is lower than the spec’ed lowest voltage of NE602 (4.5V) and it will give a bit lower conversion gain but it is good here as it rejects BCI even better. I didn’t choose an audio connector with a switch so I wired the power line of NE602 after the headphone, and I need to add 1uF to NE602 to avoid self-oscillation. The sensitivity is not high but it give good enough volume to a sensitive stereo headphone of 32 ohms in series if you have a standard size end feed or dipole antenna. And the noise pattern is quite good to hear.

The overall current draw is about 3mA so with a small battery pack of 3.7V 600mAh, I can hear about 200 hours! If you have all the parts on hand, please build and let me know your result. If you use Choc perf board to build this radio like me, I will really appreciate it.

Gang,

This is the 7th year of my kit business. Starting from October 1 (shipping date) till the end of this year, I will offer discount as follows:

1. All products on will be free shipping to worldwide.
2. If you buy the second pcs of a product, you get 10% off. So invite your friend to buy along so both of you can get 5% off.
3. You can place orders now to qualify the above discount if you accept shipping later than Oct 1.

Thanks,
Adam

Gang,

I made some changes to the mini whip to keep the 2nd stage 2N5109 amplifier and add a relay to switch my end feed half wave antenna, so I now have two antennas, with and without amplifier. I connected to two connectors on my TS-590S and switch them. The amplifier works great for the non-resonant bands, especially for Long Wave and Medium Wave bands and 6 meter band. The added amplifier will not cause noticeable overload to receiver front end due to the big current of more than 30 mA. What makes me happy, is that the Choc perf board works great again with the modified circuit! Enjoy the photo.

Thanks,
Adam
