R1 Module - High Performance Direct Conversion Receiver - $73 (pc bd only - $10)

I am not sure if I will bring back the R1 or not.  Let me know if you are interested.  In the meantime, if you want a "plain old DC receiver" to play with, try the improved microR1.

The R1 module is a 6.5 x 9 cm (2.5 x 3.5 inch) circuit board containing an SBL-1 diode ring mixer, bandpass filtering and low distortion audio amplifier.  With an appropriate local oscillator and input tuned circuit, it can serve as a direct conversion receiver for frequencies between 1 and 500 MHz, or as the last conversion stage in a superhet.  Audio filter components are supplied separately. Detailed circuit description and construction information is in August '92 QST.
