Show This Hookup Based on Old Weagant Circuit By EARL T. DENTON Some time ago there appeared in Radio Digest a Reinartz hookup by C. T. Hanavan, and I have tried this circuit cir-cuit with good results, but with the tickler coll placed as shown in the ec-Cornpanying ec-Cornpanying diagram I obtained much better results. This arrangement is based on the original ''Weagant circuit. This hookup gave louder and greater distance signals than the straight tickler coil arrangement of the Reinartz Rein-artz circuit. The greatest improvement improve-ment was In the ease with which the set could be controlled once the proper size of tickler coil was found. The only trouble that was experienced experi-enced In building the set using this circuit was to find the correct size of rT7 - ru!C-. 150TURNS". it . 1 the tickler coil. The exact number of turns on this coil must be found by experimentation, as It varies with the design of the set. But In most cases it will be found necessary to have more turns on the tickler than is generally gen-erally used on the straight Reinartz set. Do not give up on the first try-out, try-out, because the set will work and it will be well worth the effort used in experimenting with the tickler coil. Radio Digest. |
