Homebrew shortwave radio operating from 6 to 17 MHz, with productdetector, so suitable for SSB reception (radioamateurs, FAX, RTTY). A classic superheterodyne (single type) radio with an IF of 455 KHz. Schematic in the book “Retro Radio” (Dutch text), ISBN 978-90-5381-234-1. Radio is connected to a 10 meter long wire antenna outside. When you watch this video on another channel/website, please check You Tube for the original content.

Thanks. It is all home brew. But indeed it needs more explanation as in approx 4 minutes.
im sorry…but i cant understand even a single thing about these frequencies…..short wave ….band…..etc….but i like your works….it looks like been bought straight from the shop…everything looks professionally built …except for those stickers
lol ….
What a reciever, I would so love to build one.
On to part 2…
Very impressive!
Thanks! Also much success with your radio/transmitter projects.
Now, that’s my kind of radio. Great job!
Thanks, all the fundamental radio units for a superhet SW radio are in there, though it is not very complicated.
It is in my book “Retro Radio”, published by Elektor International media in the Netherlands. It consists of: 1 HF stage, 1 VFO, 1 mixer, 1 IF amplifier + productdetector, 1 BFO (7 transistors, 1 audio amplifier (4 transistors audio).
Thanks! All essential functions for a SW (SSB) receiver are there, though it is a simple receiver. The antenna coil must also be tuned (double tuning) but it is not very difficult to tune in.
Very informative video.
