  • Notes
  • The Emil Simon Company Airplane Receiver is intended for operation on an antenna of 0.00029 to 0.0005 mfd. on wave lengths of 275 to 2,500 meters. The circuit is single tuned with a regenerative method of coupling. Tuning is accomplished by means of a five-point commutator switch. This changes the connections of the condenser coil as well as the condenser. The first three adjustments have the condenser in series with the inductance, while on the fourth and fifth points the condenser is shunted around the inductance for long wave lengths.
