[R-390] SSB Converters Diode Bridge

Mon, 13 Jan 2003 17:09:26 -0800 (PST)

All you need is a $.99 Radio Shack full wave bridge rectifier.  If you've got a
junker power supply lying around, there is likely a capable bridge in it ready
to use.

Refer to the back of the RS package.  Route your line audio to the two AC
inputs of the part, ground the + pin and wire the - pin to your AGC terminal.  

When copying SSB, you simply crank in a little line audio to provide additional
AGC action to the set.  You may also wire in a little resistance to your
liking.

When listening to AM, turn your line audio to min.

Elegant.  Wish I'd have thunk of it.

Back in the day, some guy was charging good money for this Cracker Jack prize,
selling it as a sophisticated gadget.
