varactor question

in a superhet transceiver: How you design a circuit for biasing a varactor diode in a LO and one in a tuner at the same time so that they will track for a steady IF at the required frequency ( and so you can control it with one pot ; or do you need ganged pots, if there is such a thing)?
 

varactor question

Hi,
You have in all case inductors and some trimmer capacitances too (both are adjustable or minimum different to design into the circuit at different stages_ so you need only one control voltages/poti:)...
K.
 

Can't you use two transistors as buffers (emitter followers) to the two varactors and change the voltage input using the pot?
