Phoenix Crystal Receiver Kit

Designed  to have the appearance of a typical 1950's style radio, rather like the old Heathkit range.

It uses a high quality PCB and custom front panel, all parts are high quality selected for their performance not cost.
The Crystal set comes with a Litz wire coil and also, for the experimenters a mounded inductor to try that gives surprisingly good performance in this unusually circuit.

The output terminals are 19mm apart which means the old standard high impedance headphones fitted with the two pin plug can just plug straight in, or the output terminals can be used to attach wire ended headphones or crystal earphones. I dont like the crystal earphones, they often need a 'tap' to get them going, this is a common 'feature' of all crystal earphones, high impedence phones are better but much more expensive.

I Now have a few Crystal earphones and will include one free in the kit

Unlike many kits this comes with a comprehensive 14 page set of instructions that help you build the radio,
Please make sure you understand what a crystal radio is BEFORE buying the kit, it will not match your modern communications receiver for performance, or you will not be able to use it while out jogging! and your new fancy  HiFi headphones will not work.

Crystal radios get there power from the radio signal your listening to and they need a good antenna to capture enough signal to operate, anyone tells you that they produce one that doesn't need an external antenna is very misinformed or just out to con you, believe me, I have many years of experience and make a poor con man.

A good performer in a solid case that looks good
