I feel that I understand something when I can explain it to
a rank amateur such that they will also understand it, but
one thing I have yet to understand is the purpose of the quenching
action in superregeneration, apart from thequenching itself.

How does the quenching of an oscillating stage yield a detector
that works for AM, FM and / or SSB, when the quenching frequency
is supersonic, and neither at the RF nor the AF frequencies?


Everything I wanted to know, and more besides ...

Thanks, BrianM, but google never occurred to me. But perhaps it is always
best to attempt technical discussion in the NG to encourage newcomers,
even though M3OSN will attempt to stifle such dissemination of information?

Well, it doesn't fit in very well with the policy of discouraging
homebrew. If someone builds a regenerative rx, it is depriving the rig
sellers of trade. In turn, the advertising revenue falls - leading more
retailers to seek advertising opportunities elsewhere.

So while we see this as wrong, it is all in a day's work for the great
and good. From a commercial perspective, I can see their point.

Sorry, I may be dense but who's policy is it to discourage homebrew?
I accept that to be a 'good' citizen one is meant to sit back and consume
but I don't see any actual policy.

It was a response to a disparaging remark by M3OSN
