Unbuilt WBR Wheatstone Bridge 40 Meter Receiver Kit – by N1BYT

I am helping out
with the estate of a good friend of mine who was a ham radio operator and
collected vintage gear for many years.  I
will be listing his equipment during the coming weeks and months.
Cooler weather and longer nights are coming which makes for a great time
to build an electronics kit.  Here is an unbuilt
version of the original WBR 40 meter receiver. 
This simple and neat project comes from an excellent article of Dan
Wissell, N1BYT, published in QST, August 2001, p.34-37.
In a nut shell, the design of this receiver takes the advantages of a
regenerative receiver (simplicity, sensitivity) and tries to address the issues
which are antenna radiation, microphonics and hand capacity effects. The design
uses a sort of Wheatstone Bridge design for coupling the antenna to the tank
circuit.  For more information, you can
Google “WBR receiver.”  There is also at
least one YouTube video on the WBR receiver.
I’ve taken a number of photos so you can see exactly what you are
getting.  This kit includes the circuit
board and all electronic components, plus a copy of the original QST article.  You will need to supply the knobs and a
cabinet or project box, plus hardware. 
An earphone is not included.
Please see my other auctions for other radio kits plus a neat little kitsrus
Kit 27 audio amplifier kit that can be used with some of the kits to provide
more audio and drive a small speaker.
Sold “as is” but guaranteed to be as described.  Please check my feedback.  Feel free to e-mail me with questions.
I strive to provide an
accurate description and complete disclosure of the items I list. If the item
does not meet your expectations please contact me prior to leaving feedback so
that I may address any issues. I make every effort to ship within 2 business
days of receiving payment.
I will use USPS
First Class Package or USPS Priority
Mail for shipping, whichever the buyer prefers. 
International bidders are also welcome where eBay’s global shipping
program is available.  I do not charge
for packing and my packing is second to none. 
  Thank you for looking.
