Whan I look at the BFO circuits on the internet I don't nderstand the circuit theory about how they work. Isn't a BFO just an oscillator and a mixer? Couldn't you just use an oscillator like a colpitts and feeed it into a diode balanced modulator? Wouldn't that work? I cant figure out how to design one any other way. I would like to at least understand the circuit that I use and not just copy one blindly.
