Build a single, double, three or four valve TRF Receiver

What is TRF?

TRF = Tuned Radio Frequency.
It differs from a superhet in that there is no down conversion to an intermediate frequency so no local oscillator/mixer or i.f stages are required. Of course there are cons to this design like less selectivity and sensitivity  but for home brew hobbyists it makes for simpler building and easy alignment with no spec. equipment necessary. If demand exists some regenerative and superhet designs may be introduced.  I have some stock of NOS 455khz i.f transformers that are available on a first come basis.
