After the first not so positive try, I decided to build my own receiver using the same concept. after the 1€ receiver, here ist the 2€ receiver. The 2 transistors are replaced by a double balanced mixer (ne602/612). The tuning process ist the same.
The received signal is stronger, the signal-noise ratio is much better (between 15 and 19dB).

The next step is the Digital Direct Synthesis Receiver, to listen to all DRM broadcast between 0.5 and 30Mhz.
