Pedro and I (Patrick) do thank you for visiting our website! Our website has been up and running for a little over 4 years now and we thank the many wonderful guests who have stopped by...for the many voyages! In these web pages, we have put together a collection of our most treasured projects... in the hopes of instilling interest to those that are new to the world of electronics...or perhaps... more 'on-going' travels if you are a veteran to the field.

Both of us keep the website fresh and alive...with updates to previous projects... and new ones in the making. Although Pedro and I are half a world away from each other...we do share a common thread. We are people, just like yourself, in striving to 'give our best' to those that are likened to the field. We have all the bait for you to take...but it will be solely left up to you in the catch! Again, we are more than happy to have you stop by to enjoy the many projects, that we ourselves, have enjoyed making throughout the course!

...your friends, Pedro and Patrick


Before we journey into the world of electronic projects, there are 3 catalogs that are a 'need-be' for the electronic hobbiest! Go to their website, and request a 'free' catalog. These books will be invaluable as you proceed in getting started with your own fun project!

Digi-Key Corporation <http://www.digikey.com> and Mouser Electronics <http://www.mouser.com> are two lalrge 'mail order' companies here in the United States. Both have a very large array of electronic components! You may want to e-mail both and request a free catalog from them. NTE Electronics Inc.<http://nteinc.com> is a great cross-reference book, with thousands of components that are cross-referenced! You can now find replacements for: Integrated Circuits (IC), Transistors, Diodes, LEDs, Crystals, Varistors, Triacs, Rectifiers. Also, Radio Shack <http://radioshack.com> is a multi-chain company that has stores throughout the United States. They are typically a 'walk-in' store, but you can also purchase components on-line.


The Radio Shack Special is a one transistor (MPF102) VHF Receiver, capable of receiving AM/FM and SSB. I have designed this project to receive the FM Bradcasting Band...which is 87 to 107 MHz on your FM radio dial. The simpleness of an extremely low part count...places superregenerative receivers in a world of their own!

The RSS has been made by quite a few visitors/hobbiests and all the ones that were dedicated to making it work...did have a very successful ending! The RSS has been up and running on this website for a little over 4 years...and still newcomers and veterans to the field of RF, take up their own maiden journey for the challenged quest!

With the RSS 'receiver section' being only 12 components, this little jewel can be made in a short period of time. With it's marvalous sensitivity/selectivity and great audio sound...this circuitry is surely giving its' all.

Close by its' side is the LM386 audio amplifying circuitry. The component count in this audio area rivals that of the receiver itself!

And so my friend, should you take delight in setting sail to make the Radio Shack Special, I will be here on this end, to give as much help that is needed, for the little jem to shine it's light for you. And when it's all said and done, there will be a place waiting for you and your project on my website! Of course, only with your approval. With that said...

...let the journey begin !

...your friend, Patrick
