    This document provides revisions made to a regenerative short-wave receiving circuit called the Desert Ratt Ratt 2. The October 1997 revision redesigns the circuit from a previous Pip Squeek circuit and adds transistors Q1, Q3, and Q4. The January 2001 revision adds a new tuning circuit to replace an obsolete variable tuning capacitor. The April 2002 revision converts an onboard coil for T1 and adds RV3 for fine tuning and an LED1 bias. The circuit uses transistors, diodes, and an LM386 audio amplifier to receive short-wave radio signals on a battery powered circuit board.

    NOTES: 1. T1 is wound directly on the PCB. Pins 12 10T #26; pins 34 15T; pins 56 5T; for 4.56uH pins 36 on 1.5x1.5" piece of copper clad. T1 (and L1) can also be wound on 35mm film can, plastic pill bottle, etc. 2. Virtually any General Purpose NPN can be used for all transistors (2N2222, MPS918, etc.) 3. Voltages vary depending on battery voltage. Waveforms vary depending on strength of signal 4. Use HI-Z antenna, such as long wire, random length, etc. Not intended for 50W antennas 5. Diodes are general purpose rectifiers/switchers, such as 1N914, 1N4148, etc. Making D4D5 germanium (1N34, 1N70, etc.) will about double the rectified audio voltage.
