This video reminded me of the first time i came across this simple receiver scrolling through TH-cam. It was really a miracle building it for the first time without using complicating components. After that lots of videos with experiments from a lot of amateur radio operators, all trying to maximize the performance of this little receiver. For me, this receiver got me into the hobby, i hope the same project could get more people interested as it is simple and educational. What can is say? I still love it and i highly recommend it as a great project. Keep up the excellent work!! 73 and i hope we will meet on the air sometime!! 73
Thank you so much Nikos. Yes... same receiver got me back into the hobby as well. If I didn't started working on this, for sure I would most probably still not have my amateur radio license today. I also still use it a lot... especially when I am working on my laptop, is always on in the background. Love it still. Have an amazing and productive week my friend. Yes we have to try a QSO one of these days. 20m band seems good for the distance between us. 73, YO6DXE. P.S. I still watch your videos from time to time on the receiver ))
I have to go back listening to the receiver. Right now i am working on antennas. For example the Vertical on my latest video worked great on 20m but i had to use the tuner. I will be back next week and we sould definitely try a qso at least an FT8 one if the propagation is not that great.
@@sv2tcb Next week sounds amazing, as this week I am also crazy busy. I didn't not opened my transceiver much for the past month or so. Is about time ))
You will laugh but... usually that is how I work so I don't get bored, or in most cases fall asleep because when I make the videos I am always tired haha. So I listen to the radio... and sometimes when I start recording I forget about it )). Some people told me they like this so... I stick to this )). 73, YO6DXE.

Hice otra modificacion, en filamento abs hice un toroide 18mm exterior y 8mm interior con hueco y le agregue papel aluminio, se aumento la señal, pero hasta el momento estoy experimentando señales pitidos fijos , no tengo las herramienta para saber el uH ( se me daño el lcd del RLC T4/T3) por lo q me toca a mano. Aun así sería bueno saber de este tipo de toroide relleno de aluminio. Saludos.
@jcbacol Para el toroide sólo probé el material T50-2 y T50-6. Por supuesto también el tubo de PVC... hasta ahora con el tubo de PVC parece que obtengo mejores resultados tanto en el factor Q de la bobina como también en la estabilidad en la frecuencia cuando hay cambios importantes de temperatura. Pero es bueno que experimentes con eso porque la mayoría de las veces pueden surgir resultados inusuales y sorprendentes. También quería probar un toroide hecho de PVC... en teoría necesitaría más vueltas para alcanzar la inductancia necesaria, pero el factor Q de la bobina y la estabilidad en frecuencia también deberían mejorar. Nunca tuve tiempo de probar eso todavía.
Good afternoon. Our local Hamfest is this Saturday. I was invited to display some of my constructions. I will display the sputnik receiver for 20 and 40m. I will also have a bunch of circuits with your callsign and website for credits. I hope you agree. 73 my friend
You can do all you want Nikos... you put a lot of time and hard work in building a lot of things. On the 23rd we have one here in Romania... only that as usual for me... is all the way in the other side of the country hahaha. I hope I can also make it there. 73, YO6DXE.
Ok, I just subscribed to your channel and signed on to PCBWAY I have a ham radio license as well do you sell this item assembled, and how much? Thank you Sorry I keep adding to my comment can this also pick up shortwave and or will you show a video of one that is easy to build again Thanks!
Hi Darren. At the moment no I don't sell any. I will maybe next year but not sure when. But you can order the finished version from PCBWay. You have two options there... PCB board or completely with parts installed. You will only have to build the coil on your own. We talk about it on your other comment ))). I will present some other receivers more simple than this one too. Not sure if they will also work well on SSB and CW. But you can modify this one to also receive shortwave as well not just the 40m band.
The download folder is a zip folder ( compressed ) but is meant for computers mostly not so much for phones. There are apps that you can use to unzip that if you want still. But inside you may have PDF, TXT and JPG files. The ordering link seems to work perfectly as I just checked now: www.pcbway.com/project/shareproject/Sputnik_Regenerative_Receiver_0edb19a9.html

Thanks for the idea. For the PCBWay project... try this coming weekend on the blog post as I will do my best to finish it until then. 73, YO6DXE.
What type of blue variable capacitor are your using? I see these all the time in builds and cannot find one. I just build an N1TEV Regen, and used a couple variable caps from a fried old SW receiver. I want to build a Sputnik next, but don't want to spend a lot on these big air variable caps.
Is just a 10 Kilo Ohm multiturn potentiometer. They are not that expencive. Usually two or three times the price of a regular potentiometer ( the cheaper versions ). Here in Romania at least... they seem to be available in any online store that sells electronic components or parts for robot builds or things like CNC and so on.
I just made this Sputnik, but I cannot check the frequency using the counter. Is it needed a preamp between L3 and the counter? 😁 Secondly, I think I have to replace 1N4001 with BB405, as it now the tuning does not work properly. 😅
If you are using the same frequency counter kit that I used... here is a video with instructions on how to modify it in order to work: th-cam.com/video/0BxpMm6SLoE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=WHWpPuE-RLm7evfF On the diode... ohh yes feel free to experiment as much as you want. But if tuning doesn't work with a 1N4001.. chances are there is another problem there. It should work, just that the frequency range you cover may not be as wide. Try checking the potentiometers, especially the RF gain and regen control. Those were the issues I had using new and cheap but really bad quality potentiometers. As soon as I replaced them all worked fine )).
All the detailed information is written in the blog article... including the thikness of the wire used and the number of turns. Here is the link one more time. dxexplorer.com/sputnik-regenerative-receiver There are also details in the download folder in the INFO file.
Is available here in online local stores. I also like it as it saves me lots of money I would pay for very nice but expensive variable capacitors. 73, YO6DXE
@@dxexplorer Oh I now undestand it was a multi-turn potentiomenter, I was thinking on a variable capacitor... for the factor form... that was my confusioin. Thanks again. 73
@lucasmarjona Yes yes. I love variable capacitors... the older style aluminum ones... especially with reduction gears... but they are too expensive for me. More stable in frequency though comparing to diodes.
Morning... it may be different because it may have other type of oscillator than what you may be used to. I also wondered the same thing when I first discovered the schematic. I didn't know about oscillators back then... I just noticed was not like others )))
You just have to change the coil and the parallel capacitor ( C16 ). I don't have the details anymore but maybe next week I will do some experimenting and write the details down in the blog post.
Да, конечно. У меня есть статья, опубликованная в блоге на dxexplorer.com. Я думаю, вы можете использовать один из этих переводчиков для перевода текста, чтобы его также было легко понять. 73 мой друг.
The PCB board you mean ? Or the schematic ? I put it together... I can't really say I designed it since parts of the circuit, in theory appeared long before I was born ))) I just tested a lot of combinations and variations of the schematic making more and more changes to it until I was happy and it was as simple as possible. It can work even better if modified even more 😁😁. But I stop here as I spent too much time with this receiver )))
Ohh great. I guess now you will just have to put it in the band properly. If you don't have a frequency counter, just listen to the online SDR in Holland and adjust the receiver until you hear nearly the same thing on the 40m band. That is how I used to do it before when I had no frequency counter. It takes a little time, but it works. Also make sure the antenna has at least 6-8 meters minimum as is meant to work with a proper antenna and shorter wires may work if the propagation is great, but you won't receive much in the days with poor propagation. Let me know if you need help. 73, YO6DXE.

Mi-am prins urechile cu vreo două-trei radiouri "regenerative"...I must say -simplitatea lor poate fi uneori înșelatătoare..De partea audio nu prea vorbește nimeni ,de amplificarea necesară ...Aici in video vad că folosești un lm386.Semnalul din lm386 e redat direct in difuzor sau folosești alt preamplificator sau amplificator?
Hahaha... da da si eu mi le-am prins cu schema originala mult mai simpla, cea de la care am plecat... de prin revista Tehnium. Abia a 4-a sau a 5-a oara i-am dat de cap si a mers. Dar am invatat multe. Pentru partea audio... da da e un LM386... dar cu iesire mai mult pentru casti, cum e la Pixie TRX. Motivul a fost ca are consum mai mic a bateriei asa... si e mult mai simplu circuitul. Celalalt receptor pe care-l aratam in clip... are o varianta mai veche a schemei dar devenise complicat. Acela avea un preamp inainte de LM386 asa ca auditia in difuzor era ok. Asa cum e acum... na... se aude si in difuzor... dar slabut. Daca e liniste in camera e ok. Castile sunt ideale totusi.

Nevermind pcb boards. These kinds of radios should be built on copper clad, either dead bug or Manhattan. Or just on a chunk of scrap wood with screws and whatnot.
Ohhh clearly they can be. I also built the first test version of this one the same way 😁. The PCB boards only makes it look pretty.. and in some cases when used portable... a long lasting receiver. I also love the look of the Manhattan style. It gives that feeling that clearly is a homebrew project 😁.

Hahaha... da da si eu mi le-am prins cu schema originala mult mai simpla, cea de la care am plecat... de prin revista Tehnium. Abia a 4-a sau a 5-a oara i-am dat de cap si a mers. Dar am invatat multe. Pentru partea audio... da da e un LM386... dar cu iesire mai mult pentru casti, cum e la Pixie TRX. Motivul a fost ca are consum mai mic a bateriei asa... si e mult mai simplu circuitul. Celalalt receptor pe care-l aratam in clip... are o varianta mai veche a schemei dar devenise complicat. Acela avea un preamp inainte de LM386 asa ca auditia in difuzor era ok. Asa cum e acum... na... se aude si in difuzor... dar slabut. Daca e liniste in camera e ok. Castile sunt ideale totusi.
@@dxexplorer Ți-am urmărit videourile,am mai comunicat și prin email ,sunt newlife dacă îți mai amintești.Am devenit obsedat de radiouri regenerative...Cred că e și orgoliu de a reuși...Nu prea înțeleg amplificatoarele audio.Stiu de exemplu că lm386 e power amp sau cum îl numesc unii ,dar totuși îl văd folosit și ca amplificator de microfon unde semnalul e de câțiva milivolți probabil ...Am cumpărat niște module ieftine pam8403 parcă ,deși sunt bune la prețul lor ,pentru radio nu sunt sensibile destul..Am văzut pe cineva care folosea un TDA2003 cu schema originala a lui Charles Kitchin și avea volum destul de puternic..Cică TDAul ar avea gain de 80 db..Cine le mai înțelege? 🤨
@instructoruldemeditatie2367 Da da TDA2003 merge fain. Initial in experimente la inceput tot pe ala am folosit si eu. Doar ca na... nu era asa de usor de gasit peste tot si am trecut la LM386. E micut si nu e perfect... dar face multe. Merge si ca preamp pentru microfon... dar mie imi pare cam zgomotos. As prefera ceva cu un MPF102... si e mai simplu doar cu un transzistor. De celalalt integrat nu stiu. ))) Da da imi aduc aminte ca am vorbit cum sa nu ))
@@dxexplorer Și eu as prefera mpf102 dar se găsește greu deși sunt multe proiecte cu el.Problema pe care am avut-o când am încercat să recreez circuite vechi ,nu prea mai găsești feturi :D și altele.Fain că ai adăugat fișier pentru comanda directa...E totuși munca ta ..Ar fi fost ceva daca ai fi putut face kituri dar ai dreptate cu produsele chinezești ,am dat și eu de potențiometre de unica folosință.
O zi frumoasa!
@@instructoruldemeditatie2367 Multumesc... inca nu am pus link... trebuie sa fac re design la placuta... in alt soft ca sa expor gerber ... dar in curand o sa fac la toate asa. E mai simplu. Apoi na.. e munca, dar e un fel de multumesc pentru vizionari 😁. Cu MPF102... asa e da... eu am primit cadou 10 buc din Noua Zeilanda de la amicul Nigel... ZL1NAY )).
Nevermind pcb boards.
These kinds of radios should be built on copper clad, either dead bug or Manhattan. Or just on a chunk of scrap wood with screws and whatnot.
Ohhh clearly they can be. I also built the first test version of this one the same way 😁. The PCB boards only makes it look pretty.. and in some cases when used portable... a long lasting receiver. I also love the look of the Manhattan style. It gives that feeling that clearly is a homebrew project 😁.
NON FUNZIONA COSA POSSO FARE?
Mandami una email e qualche foto forse vedo qualcosa che non è al posto giusto.
ce pret are cablajul ?
Eu nu am de vanzare ca lumea le comanda direct de la PCBWay. Dar trimiteti-mi un email cu adresa si va trimit eu unul ca trebuie sa dau comanda luna asta pentru mine si imi trebuiesc doar 4... deci o sa am unul extra 😁😁. 73, YO6DXE
كم رقم السلاك النحاسي في الملف 24 ام 22
24 turns / 0.4mm diameter. There are all the details in the blog article. 73
كيفه كتابه العناصر الاكنرونيه في اللوحه مثل. R1 R2 إلى اخر
هل في برامج لحساب قيمه الترانستور أو تشغيله
@@user-gv1yk5gz7z I don't understand what you mean...
@@user-gv1yk5gz7z Ohhh I don't know I'm sorry. I know you can do circuit simulations in Elsie... but I am not that good yet )). Is just a hobby not a profession so probably I know as much as you do as well.
👍👍👍👌👌👌😁
🙏🙏🙏 73, YO6DXE
🫣 haha good job Chip.
😅😅 Thank you Nigel. I keep trying to catch up with our "radio show" but I was always free when you are a sleep... time difference. But tomorrow I think I have the time for a reply ))). By the way... open a beer and celebrate... this was the last video on the Sputnik 😅😅😅.
Just buy a pixie !
Pixie is a CW transceiver locked on 7023 Khz; This (the Sputnik) is a regen receiver that covers 7000-7200 Khz
I have a Pixie... but that is a transceiver... this one is a receiver ) 73
I am also working on a Pixie with an analog VFO )) This way we can cover the entire CW portion of the 40m band. But still work in progress... not much free time for now. 73, YO6DXE.
Тони,купить и дурак сможет!А ты своими руками сделай радио! ☝️
@@user-pe1id5hv4p Да, приятнее, когда мы используем что-то на 100% созданное нами. Пикси тоже красивая, мне нравится... но это комплект, но это не то удовлетворение.
