SR2 – 7 varactor diode tuning. The varactor (D3) forms an L/C (Inductor/Capacitor) tank circuit with T3. Increasing the vo ltage on the varactor diode with R21 (Tuning Pot) increases the capacitance of D3 thus increasing the frequency output of the LO sec tion. Now that we know the two signals coming into the Mixer stage, both the Fc (receive car ...

SR2 – 8 RSSI circuit is controlled by the value the feedback resistor R17. If you are commonly using a small antenna and listenin g to weak signals, increase the value of R17 to customize the resp onse indication of D2, the signal strength LED. The final stag e, and the real secret to the sensit ivity of the receiver, is the Automatic Gain Contro ...
