[Milsurplus] BC-9 Loop Test: Scratching My Head.

[Hubert Miller]

A regen receiver can pull to a strong signal up to maybe 100s of Hz, maybe a kHz, depending on circuit and frequency.
The SCR-77 manual states range up to 5 miles.
BTW, in correct terms, the BC-9 receiver is not a regenerative receiver; it's an oscillating detector.
The thing seems like a pretty "experimental" set at the that time. I wonder how successful it was.

I seem to recall somewhere that a strong received signal could pull the frequency of a regenerative receiver to a certain extent. Has anybody tested the BC-9 with a signal generator run "wide open"? After all, the BC-9 was never intended to communicate over long ranges.
