>> Greetings All,
>> I have been playing with a regen receiver(Heath GR81). Being my first regen I wonder if the following actions are normal or if I should investigate further.
>> Receiver is much more sensitive on the higher end of each band. Adding tuning capacitance means more regen needed.
>> The set overall is very senitive on the highest 5-18 megs band, and quite a bit less sensitive on the BCB and VLF. It will go into regeneration across the whole spectrum, just less sensitivity generally as you go lower.
>> Thanks for any advice.
