Talk:Grid-leak detector/Archive 1

Irrelevant gumff:
This is one of the silliest pages on Wikipedia:

It purports to be about Grid-Leak Detection but then starts rabbiting on about radiation from Regens, which is a totally different subject and is completely irrelevant.

It unnecessarily refers to various obscure models of American radio's.

Under "Disadvantages" it talks about A.G.C. which once again is a completely unrelated subject.

And saddest of all, the proffered description of how Grid-Leak Detection operates is misleading and clumsy. Gutta Percha (talk) 04:09, 6 August 2011 (UTC)

January 4, 2018. The article should be a lot better now, although my writing may rate as clumsy too. The list of receivers does remain in the history section, although I agree that such a list is unnecessary and not really relevant. LSMFT (talk) 04:12, 4 January 2018 (UTC)

Move to Grid leak or Grid leak bias?
It seems to me that grid-leak bias is a wider topic than grid-leak detectors, deserving its own page. Grid-leak bias was widely used in class-C amplifiers and particularly oscillators, as well as detectors. In contrast, grid-leak detectors don't necessarily need a page to themselves, they could benefit by being explained along with other grid-leak circuits. This page could be renamed Grid leak or Grid leak bias, with content on other uses of grid-leak circuits, and the topic of grid leak detectors be moved to a subsection within it, with a redirect from the term Grid-leak detector. -- Chetvorno TALK 21:28, 12 June 2013 (UTC)


 * Unless anyone objects I am going to move this page to Grid leak bias. -- Chetvorno TALK 15:20, 3 July 2013 (UTC)

Grid-leak detector operation
I deleted this sentence. A grid-leak detector works without going into cutoff. The idealized version has the (ideal) grid-to-cathode diode clamping the top of the AM envelope to the cathode voltage. Glrx (talk) 03:27, 3 August 2016 (UTC)
