Hello,
Here is an interesting vfo circuit in figure 26. I would like to ask a few things.
1. The author states "The base is tapped only one turn up from the cold end." What does it mean, where should the one-turn exist, at the variable capacitor side, or at the other side?
2. I am thinking of using an FT50-43 (ferrite) core for the 25uH, is that ok, or do I need to use an iron powder?(T50-2 for example)
3. The 3:1 transformer at the output, what number of turns should it have?
4. Can I use a ferrite core (broadband?) for the output transformer or do I need to use an iron powder one? (resonant?)
5. Is the output near 50R?
