I was naive enough to try to build the TRF radio circuit on page 57 in this book. It did not work. It can't work. The NPN transistors in this circuit need to be supplied with 0.7 volts in order to switch on but receive no volts at all. So the radio cannot work. Ronald: you are selling your books on the false premise they are good for hobbyists. This hobbyist tried your circuit and it did not work. Ronald you might have dozens of patents to your name but have you actually tried to build this radio?
