Several have asked how I powered the little imported frequency
counter board on my Navy RAS receiver mod. One suggestion was just
use a Wall Wart. Last night I cobbled together a voltage doubler
circuit and used the 6.3 volts AC present above chassis on the RAS
receiver pilot light socket.
The doubler circuit utilizes a full wave rectifier as suggested by
Al N3FRQ to reduce ripple. Not many parts just two Caps and a
little IC rectifier and a resistor. I did fabricate a standard
"snap" connector mounted on the board. The frequency counter board
will then use a standard 9 volt connector. Plenty of room on the
receiver chassis for the 1.5 X 2 inch board.
Anybody got any National knobs or tube shields?
