Well the point is that if you let the oscillation build up
sufficiently then the gain becomes so high (super regens are designed
to have massive static gain in the RF stage but high Q feedback means
that it takes time to ramp up) that the output limits and the audio
spectrum you're looking for is no longer present, there is just the RF
frequency rail to rail.

OK, now I understand.

The purpose of the quench is to keep an over-excited stage item calm and
usable.

How does one quench M3OSN?
