I quote from part of a response:
"Now, if you have a permeability-tuned mixer stage (whether or not there
is an RF stage before it), with the IF at 455kHz, it tends to go
seriously unstable when tuned to the lower frequency end of the MF band
(520 kHz?), because base and collector circuits are tuned to near-enough
the same frequency. The use of a 262 kHz IF prevents this. I suppose 262
kHz was chosen to minimise problems (whistles) due to image reception
and IF harmonics."
What was that bit about base and collector, when the subject impliedOn Fri, 20 Jul 2012 18:41:03 -0700 (PDT), trojancowboy@gmail.com

Some idiot playing games (again). The thread was from 1998.

Interesting.
