In the context of the main tuning control of a simple regenerative receiver, is there any detriment when substituting a polyester variable capacitor (inexpensive) for an air-variable capacitor (expensive)? Assume the values are the same.
The main difference between them would be Q, right? Or are there other factors?
I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Do your worst!
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!
Hi everybody I’ve been trying to build FM radios lately with no success and am wondering if anybody here has any beginner friendly schematics I could have a go at I’ve already tried this:
https://www.google.com.au/url?sa=i&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwjH1rqggID1AhUJqBQKHaO_CdwQjhx6BAgBEAI&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.electroschematics.com%2Ftiny-fm-radio%2F&psig=AOvVaw2AzeobTbdgc-IxaCyEcqHk&ust=1640557813760474
But with no luck (multiple times). I’m also using veroboard to put everything together and normal blank perfboard. I believe that the schematic I linked doesn’t use a proper FM demodulation technique but I am not quite sure and that is already a nightmare for many people although they may just be beginners like me.
I also am wondering whether I can use molded inductors instead of coils as long as they have the same inductance since I’ve got a fair few lying around.
I believe this an issue or they may do for higher frequency radios but I’m not able to get any other variable capacitors other than the 25 and 60pf trimmer caps that come in yellow and grey. I’m also not able to get solder together kits for receivers unfortunately.
And finally is there any resources I could use to learn how to design my own radios and understand how they work I’m aware of a few types such as superhets and regenerative radios but I can’t understand how everything works together on the schematic other than the lc tank. Thanks for any help.
They’re on standbi

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
When I got home, they were still there.

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.
Daughter: I'm hungry
Me: nerves building, smile widening
Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.
She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.
