Hello,

Any helpful soul out there able to point me to a schematic for a transistor
(or 1 chip) cct that'll deliver a fixed 12kHz output?

Thanks - Martin

Sorry - sine wave, and stable enough so that when it's mixed (with SA602)
with another signal which is then tuned with a radio in sideband mode, it
won't require retuning after warm-up. This more improtant than actual
accuracy of the 12kHz. 100Hz here or there not important.

Thanks - Martin

in that case you probably need a crystal for stability, dividing it down to
12khz, the most comon nearest is 32khz but this doesnt divied into 12 very
well, you can get 'programable crystal oscilators', wich have internal
divide by n counters. you can use a filter to clean the squarewave into a
sinewave.

or maybe you have another crystal oscilator somewhere in your circuit you
can divide down ?

The 4066 is being used as an oscillator and a divider, with the
crystal frequency at 6.144 MHz. After being divided by 512, it exits
the counter as a 12kHz square wave and is then sent through a bandpass
filter to make the AC sine wave you need from it. I simulated it with
LTC's SWCADII, and the netlist follows.

The crystal is an Epson CA-301 6.1440M-C and the component values
arount it are from a design guide they have at:

No guarantees, but it's a starting point!
