VLF ATU
|
|
Take the output from the emitter of T1 in the 100 - 600 kHz Converter,
via a 100 nF capacitor.
Add 33 mH in series with L3 to tune down to 15 kHz.
This works well with a short antenna.

ULTRASONIC
|
Use an inexpensive 40kHz transducer to the antenna input
to detect high frequency sound from gas leaks, bearings running dry or bats -
attract them by throwing a tennis ball high into the air at dusk.
