It definitely beats the heck out of that "genuine" Atwater-Kent breadboard 
radio with miniature tubes that was posted on eBay a few months ago.  For 
one thing it has a speaker.

I can't read Japanese, and don't want to install one of those language 
programs, but it appears to be sold as just what it is -- a cute kit.  For 
the tinkerer, it can make for a neat little radio that can be a conversation 
piece in the corner of any living room or office.

You don't need to /install/ anything - "babelfish" just redirects the page
you want translated to another web site that does the translation, then
displays it in your browser just like any other web page.  It's one of the
most sophisticated web applications, but the translations (obviously)
aren't perfect, and can sometimes be hilarious!

Dietary Fiber-challenged "Ron" will probably make his soup out of my 
shorts again but I homebrewed my own version of this set sans anything 
made of plastic or the weenie 20-25cm loop and phony horn.  These sets 
are available on ebay and not so bad a bargain for a guy that wants to 
build a set but not go chasing around for individual components.  You 
can find the schematic and details on other ebay listings. There's some 
yakk on ARF for those wanting to investigate deeper.
Its further evidence of my "blue butchering period" of fake tubes like 
the Radio LL :)
Its a cute little receiver - nothing to write home about and struggles 
to drive a horn, fake or otherwise, on anything but locals.  Maybe 
over-represented in that regard.  Toss the horn and use phones and its 
quite respectable for 'radio' person.
http://www.sparkbench.com/gekken/gekken.html
Its a clean sounding rig and shouldn't be any disappointment in its 
price class unless you compare it to an old plastic $5 clock radio.  Its 
the kit that counts!

That's twice now you've posted that link.

I doesn't look anything at all like an Icom or Yaesu. And most
certainly not like a Drake. If anything, it looks like an over
priced midrange consumer radio from the 80s. Which it is.

Different filters, as the frequency span is more than 2:1.  

You can get by with three if those are the lowest frequecies.
6, 9.8   filter 1
11.5, 13, 15, filter 2
20 filter 3

Myself I'd do four:
6 as filter 1 
9.8   filter 2
11.5, 13, 15, filter 3
20 filter 4

One thing I notice is the VFO frequencies.  With great care will 
the VFO drift above 10mhz be acceptable for SSB or CW.

A premix scheme with a VFO at some convenient frequency
like 5mhz and mixed with a crystal osc for an injection frequency.
For a schedule like this:

>band (mhz)      VFO (mhz)
>----------------       ---------------
>1.8                  9.8
>3.5                  11.5
>7.0                  15.0
>14.0                 22.0
>21.0                 29.0
>28.0                 36.0

That would need different filters but the tuning would be the same for
each band and getting a 5mhz vfo to stay put is far easier than a
bandswitched VFO.

Also spurs are more likely if the LO injection is below the IF than
above.

Scott-

You can probably find service manuals on the web for rigs that use each
version.  It should be possible to get an idea how the footprints compare,
what voltages are used and how similar are the loads.  It may be possible
to find another company's TCXO that could be adapted, but it may be just
as easy to adapt the SO-2.

Your best bet may be to contact Kenwood's engineering department.  It is
conceivable that the two might be the same, but the SO-2 has better
specs.  It is also possible that there is a version available from Kenwood
parts, identical to the SO-1, but used in their commercial radios.

Incidentally, if you do find an SO-1, the label can be peeled back to
reveal a trimmer capacitor behind a hole under the "e" in Kenwood.  I
adjusted mine so the 20 MHz WWV audio tone is the same on USB and LSB.  It
is also possible to setup A and B vfos for 19.999 MHz USB and 20.001 MHz
LSB, and adjust the trimmer so the 1 KHz beat notes are the same.  Either
way, you need a "musical ear" to be sure the two tones are the same!

Unless you are using a true multiplicative (four quadrant multiplier)
as a mixer, i do not see why you would want to put a low pass filter
between the VFO and the mixer. 

However, if you are using some switching type double balanced mixer,
such as diode ring or hard driven Gilbert cell (such as MC1496, NE602
etc.) mixer, these should be driven with a clean symmetric square wave
to ensure accurate switching.

A symmetric square wave contains a rich series of odd harmonics that
could mix with the signals in the antenna. With the VFO at 6 MHz and 8
MHz IF, the third LO harmonic would be at 18 MHz, forming spurious
responses at 18+8=26 MHz and 18-8=10 MHz, the 5th harmonic would
produce other spurious responses.

Since you are apparently not designing a general coverage receiver,
but a ham band only receiver, IMHO, it is a much better idea to put
the effort to build filters into the front end (e.g. band pass filters
for each ham band or a constantly tunable filter) ahead of the mixer.
In the example above, the 14,0-14,35 MHz front end band pass filter
would strongly attenuate the spurious responses at 10 and 26 MHz.
While there would still be mixing products with the harmonics of the
local oscillator, with proper input filtering, the RF port of the
mixer would only contain some thermal noise from the input stage(s),
which at HF would not be an issue.

As others have pointed out, your VFO frequencies are quite high and
would ruin the stability. Also running the VFO below the received
frequency can easily cause harmonics to fall on the RF passband or IF
frequency.

For local oscillator frequency stability you might have to use the
mixing method (band crystal +/- VFO) or the offset-PLL method
(VCO-VFO) / divide-by-N and phase comparator. In both cases you should
check that none of the auxiliary frequencies (band crystal, VFO, VCO,
VCO-VFO difference, PLL reference crystal or PLL reference frequency)
or their harmonics fall on the input frequency band or the IF
frequency.

With a limited coverage receiver this should not be too hard to do.
Put all the generated frequencies and their harmonics into a
spreadsheet and check for several points on that band that all
spurious signals are outside the ham band under investigation and that
these frequencies do not come too close to the IF bandwidth. 

Even if you do not currently plan to implement the WARC bands, it
would be a good idea to include them in this spreadsheet analysis, in
case you sometimes would want to implement them too.

Yes.

Yes, use a DBM for less undesired products.   If done with medium care
you can expect the undesired outputs to be 30 to 40 db down from the
sum and difference products.  Makes filtering much easier.

Correct.  You will need to use band pass filters.

If your using a DBM while a perfet square wave would be good the use
of a low pass filter achieves the same result with less effort.  By
removing any higher order harmonics the wave form will be a symetric
sine wave (to resistive load) and a symetric clipped square wave to
a DBM.

Exactly.  However with good reciever design you strip images and 
out of band signals.  You can't mix with whats not there.

Image stripping.  The trick here is adaquate band pass and minimum
loss unless your using an RF amp ahead of it.

Tracking PLL is a good way to go if your goal is to reduce the amout
of switching of filters.  These can be fairly simple and
straightforward. The handbook, QST and EMDRF have good designs 
that are reproducable.

The downside is offset  PLLs have phase noise and it increases with
the /n and they can be complex.  Unless in kit form and stock design I
don't advise them for novice builders unless they are willing to
experiment, alot.
