Well, the answer is okay, but since I am always interested in finding more,
text references would be great also !
Always curious,

I have an old receiver (tubes, .5-30 MHz) with analog tuning.
I also have a frequency counter which I want to connect so
as to be more accurate in determining the frequency I am
receiving. Where in the receiver circuit would I connect
the counter (output:of 1st RF amp? 2nd RF amp? IF? 1st
converter? 2nd converter? IF buffer? 1st, 2nd, or 3rd IF
amp? detector?) Or is there some miracle way to pick up
RF from the receiver with an antenna without having to make
a mod. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jack

The IF will always be 455 kHz (or some other fixed frequency),
so there's no point in measuring it.
The incoming RF will be too weak, and you don't want to take any
of it away. Anyhow, you'll be measuring several signals at once
(at frequencies close to each other) if you measure at an RF stage.
The IF stages pick out the exact one you're tuned to.
Measure the oscillator, and subtract 455 kHz from the reading.
Thus, when you are tuned to 10.000 MHz, the counter will read 10.455.
The really proper way to do it is to build a counter that will automatically
subtract 455 from the number to be displayed -- for example, by starting
at 999545 rather than at 000000 on each count.

I think G10 has been entirely replaced by FR4; they should be equivalent
unless you particularly do not want fire resistance. You should be
able to find surplus board material at many surplus places; see ads
in "Electronics Now" for example (their expanded ad section appears only
once every three or four months)

Cleaning out the shack and found a bunch of high voltage mica caps. They
range from .01MFD to .0005MFD. Voltage range from 1200 volts to 5KV.
All you builders out there, email your needs and I'll see if I can match
them up. I picked these up at hamfests over the last 20 years and always
refused to pay more than 50 cents each so that's what I'll let them go for.
Plus shipping of course. Email: raym@omnifest.uwm.edu Ray WB9ZIQ
