I am looking for a copy of an old 'Ham Radio'-article: " Near linear
tuning with dual eccentric pulleys ", Ham Radio, January 1990, page 53,
by N2DCH.
The article describes a mechanical solution on how to transform a VFO
with capacity-linear varco into a pseudo frequency-linear one...
I would like to try this mechanical 'trick' with the combination of a
VFO that has a capacity-linear varco in it and a slide-rule type scale.
Can somebody provide a scan, pse?
Thanks, Paul - ON4BXZ2454 2008-11-28 10:50:04 Ashhar Farhan Re: looking for old HR article on linear tuning paul,
