PD schematic interpretations

[Max]

please write here your interpretations of PD schematic

my interpretation is that is made basically of 3 different circuits:

1. Heathkit GD348 MD with omega+round smaller coil, working as usual old IB VLF MD with unshielded coils and at same expected range of an IB VLF MD with that small coils

2. passive receiver circuit made around a couple of ferrite rods antenna (directive) and tuned in LF band (long waves) maybe around 60Khz, to receive some very strong LF signal like time radio station WWVB of NIST and the like

3. mixer and monostable circuit that mix output of the MD and passive receiver and then feed a 555 that controls buzzer for audible signal and led

I don't see anything else interesting

please provide your interpretation too, expecially Geo

I suspect, the LRL rats do not want to discuss the technical aspects of it.

They either
want to discuss the discussion, that LRL's are working.
or
to discuss the discussion about so called "theories", which is in my opinion a b$ theory.

EMI noise and other noise sources are the best friends of LRL rats.

Cheers,

Hi Aziz,
the fact is that the schematic is quite simple so I do not understand what they mean for particular stuff we don't see in it or we miss somehow e.g. the purpose or meaning of such circuits

but lets see what they write (if they will write something...) and take a look at their interpretation of schematic if different from ours

From my point of view, they expected to get huge directivity with such construction especially with use of ferrite rods antenna. Huge directivity mean long range detection. Regretfully there are disturbing reality somewhere between.

But let them to talk correct explanations.

I believe someone said that the coils are not absolutely necessary but an improvement, so we could drop all the GD348 and mixer circuit, and it should still "work". That would let us with a simple passive receiver, so this must be the heart of the circuit.
Apparently the idea when tuning it is to cancel any magnetic reaction, so we end up with a receiver that detect only RF levels variations...
mmmh...No wonder it is somewhat erratic and depends on geography ...

[Max]

seems that they (LRL believers and claimers) don't wanna discuss about schematic of PD

I do not understand that, but is not a good sign about they have a better understanding of that schematic at the end of the day...

? if the GD348 and mixer serves nothing or are not strictly necessary all the interesting part must be at ferrite: a simple passive receiver is the working LRL ???

if so it's not different from the "goldgun" AL718, that's indeed a simple passive receiver! but seems many people , even LRL addicted many times here denied the goldgun works as advertised... so I really don't understand what's so special in that schematic then or what we do not see or understand...

will be nice to hear from the LRL entusiasts about that stuff...

Do you really want to discuss the issue of PD;; How;;
I refuse to go into a debate, where you tolerate a member to cursing others; I think that you do not like.

[Max]

sure, I wanna discuss schematic here, no jokes...

so Geo, what did you see interesting in it ?

I Think Morgan mentioned this before, but not sure 100%...Hope he will comment too.

Exatly what i though.Also same a Esteban´s claims: wideband receiver, etc etc...remember ?

Thats true,the Passive Receiver is the heart of the circuit,and a piece of art...
The EE or entusiast who can find the way to UPGRADE this circuit, have build one powerful Long Range Locator.

Very nice,and where is the OMEGA coil?

hope it will work...

It looks you get the MAX schematic?

[folharin]

omega coil ... I am still building ...

could anybody help me with the number of turns omega coil?
