Wanting to add a squelch to a FM deviation meter, I came up with this 2
transistor circuit. I did not want the normal noise squelch system as that is
delayed and I do not want to see the large peak noise on the slow to decay peak
reading meter.

It works on a 600kHz IF in my application, so I expect the circuit will work on
most 455kHz IF systems without too much of a tweak. With a scope I first
checked there was a pre limiter stage with enough IF level to drive a
transistor stage into class C, if there was not I would have added another IF
amp to raise the level, as it happed I was lucky I had large signals to work
with.

HOW IT WORKS
With no signal T1 will be off and T2 will be turned on by the 27k through D2
and a relativley quick charge up of C2 to 1.4V. Note T2 is used as a PURE ON
OFF RESISTIVE ATTENUATOR with no DC present through C3 on to its collector. T2
ON can short out small amounts of +/- AF current in this mode.

When there is enough IF signal present D1 & T1 base clip the signal and T1
conducts at the IF frequency. C2 discharges quickly from 1.4V and T2 will turn
off when C2 is below 1V some IF ripple/noise can occur across C2, but D2
ensures this has to be big to activate T2.

There is no Squelch pot in this circuit, I selected a small value of C1 to not
load the IF stage and give the wanted squelch sensitivity. A squelch pot could
be used there as well if there is enough signal.

Why don't U send an interesting bul?
