Bill K7WXW's FB SolderSmoke Direct Conversion Receiver


This is a very nice build.  Bill K7WXW fought a long battle to get this receiver working, and -- more importantly -- to understand why it is working.

    Well stated!

    "The cycle of design, sim, build, debug, update, repeat can teach you a lot."

    Updating the simulation input data, and repeating the sim can result those "Eurika" moments. When the input data is good, and the simulation settings are correct, usually you get results that look like what you measured.
