Yeah sure, your credentials are better than anyone that disagrees with you. Yeah sure, your references are better than those of anyone that disagrees with you. I killfiled him weeks ago. He's even worse than you. Yeah sure. -- Jim Pennino |

No, he's talking about a superhet with standard 455Khz IF, where some feedback was added around an IF stage (usually a "gimmick" capacitor so one can adjust it), and with control of the cathode, one could increase selectivity and put it into oscillation so there was something to beat against the incoming signals to demodulate CW and SSB. But that's really just a more complicated method of regeneration and superregeneration. You sir...

Both MP3 and CD use 16/44 (16 bits, 44kHz sample rate) formats. The difference is that the CD will have the entire signal stored, while MP3 will remove some of the signal which is not as important as others. You are partially right.. CD uses a specific sample rate and bit size, And I believe you are correct as to what they are MP3 can use a very wide range of sample rates, and different bit sizes as well.... Crank the bit rate and sample size up enough and yes, I am not going to be able to tell the difference. (A golden ear I'm not). But the bandwith needed goes way up. Some "Cred"info..My daughter, in whom I am well pleased, IS, among other things, a Classical Musician and music teacher...In the past I have been her "Recording Engineer" I also do recording in other venues as well... Usualy ATRAC, but sometimes CD quality. I have played a lot with Bit Rates, sample sizes and sample rates.using Total Recorder PRO and the LAME codec. Fun Fact: Remember Spaceship One, the one that won the X-Prize? Well, Dr Space (David Livingston) complained during the first flight about having to change cassettes in his audio recorder... I tossed Total Recorder on the job and within minutes of the program end he had an MP3 in his mail box. Next flight he mentioned his new log recorder (Total Recorder PRO) and credited me with the suggestion. I have hundreds (IF not thousands) of hours of live recordings lying about here. -- Home, is where I park it. --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. http://www.avast.com |

So, if the Knight Kit could also go into super-regeneration, how was the quenching achieved? By the same means it happened by accident when Armstrong was playing with regen receivers. Most discussion of superregens has the same tube doing the receiving and quenching. That tends to confuse the operation of the scheme, and like I said, eventually the ARRL Handbook description of the superregen devolved to explaining how the tube could quench. The right components and that regen receiver can be a superregen receiver. And like I said, it can be both, just picking components so the regen control can get some regeration (for improved selectivity), turn into an oscillator (for beating against incoming signals) and then a bit more and it goes into superregeneration. Like I said, superregeneration is just an addition to regeneration, a useful feature since it makes operation much less fussy (no need to constantly ride the regen control), but nevertheless just an extension of the basic concept of regeneration.

So, let's say that you are listening to a weak CW signal, you turn up the regen control until you get super-regen, at which point the CW signal disappears because the CIO effect has now been shifted out to the sidebands created by the quenching? |
