Another way of looking at it is that a commercial receiver makes a good start at a semi-homebrew project. I always start from scratch. I build my own PCB's, wind my own coils, metal enclosures and chassis. If I was capable of making all my own components, including tubes, I would sure would give it a go - real homebrew! A FRG-7 from scratch would make a good project for you! I could quite possibly design and build a far better receiver than the FRG-7 anyhow! Manufacturers build to a design price - so inevitably compromises have to be made to keep within budget. As a lone constructor, that restriction doesn't even enter into the equation when I design and build. The only problem I sometimes find is when certain components become obsolete and consequentially unavailable, so then it becomes a case of "back to the drawing board!" |
