Re: Building the 'Minimod' AM modulator-questions!
Hi David,
Thanks for the clearly annotated layout drawing- it makes it much clearer now. I'll go with your FET pin out and see what happens! I've now removed the L2 coil and turned it round.
Most of the caps came from RS (including the 0.68) but they wanted fortunes for the polystyrene ones; over a pound each in packs of ten which gets expensive when you need several different values! So they are coming from various Ebay sources and should turn up today. Hopefully I can finish it off tonight and see if it works.
David (RW), thanks for the extra interesting information about FET's- they are not things I've ever played with before.
Ian,
I'm sure the need for and interest in the Minimod is probably greater now than ever. With MW stations disappearing, an easy to build modulator will be essential.
I'll report progress tonight if the rest of the caps turn up.
All the best
Nick
