Simple Selector Coil for Reducing Radiation in Radio Sets
A simple selector coil shown in Figure 1 reduces harmful radiation from regenerative receiving sets. It uses two coils on a tube 2 1/2 inches by 3 1/2 inches with No 22 D C C wire and two fixed mica condensers .002 mid. capacity for coupling to aerial and ground posts. The aerial and ground connect to the small coil while the larger coil feeds the receiving set through the condensers.
