    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 ...
