hello audioguru
please tell me that when i build a Eavesdropping device(this circuit) for start after build what hapen after press the on swich (for start).
I don't think the project works:
1) The value of R18 is too low.
2) C2 should be a 1k resistor.
3) The AM detector circuit and DC amplifier's input look weird.
4) The DC amplifier amplifies its own DC input offset voltage which messes-up the voltage-controlled audio oscillator.
If it works correctly then it will pickup all FM and TV stations and taxi cab radios in town.
If there is no RF then the VCO should be quiet. With a low amount of RF then it should make a low frequency growling sound. Its pitch should get higher with stronger RF.
