is there a schematice to this somewhere? Reddi 14:55, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Looks like a loaded antenna, a capacitor, a crystal oscillator, and a diode and 4 variable capacitors. Reddi

No, the device did not come with any schematic. I bought it in the early nineties for less than 10 dutch guilders (approx 4 euro in today's money). It's still working like a fairy, but you'd probably not want this today. There's an IC on the other side of the PCB, it's covered with black wax, probably to hide the type number. What you take for 4 variable capacitors is really a 4 pole interface connector (the type with screws to fasten the wires, don't know what that's called in English). Sorry it took me 1.5 years before I found your question. ;) Jaho (talk) 12:42, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
