All Modules ready

I just finished the power board. I was mostly straight forward.
The only problem was the -12V. I used a separate 12V transformer.
The output of this transformer was 20V AC. After rectifying it The DC was too high for the 7912. It turned out that this little transformer needs to be loaded.
The 30V for the varicap does not work. The voltage out of the 24V transformer is too low for the zenerdiode wich is actually a 32V zenerdiode. I will use 24 instead. It should be enough as I have tested the tuner using 24Volt.

I build the 38 MHz receiver in a tin can. In fact I have built it on the bottom of this box. I just built the rest of the can around it.

Now all modules are ready. I am trying to connect them and fix the interface problems. I hope that I can display a spectrum tonight.
