AI Thread Summary
To create a low-frequency radio that tunes between 1000 and 10000 Hz, one must consider the significant size and inefficiency of antennas required for those frequencies. Understanding the intended application is crucial for providing tailored advice. The discussion references a similar inquiry from the previous year, suggesting ongoing interest in this topic. Efficient design and practical implementation are key challenges in building such a radio. Exploring alternative methods or applications may yield better results.

can someone tell me how to make a radio that would tune between about 1000 and 10000 Hz please. ? Or at least where to begin.

Welcome to the PF.

The antennas for those low frequencies would be prohibitively large, or at least very inefficient. What is the application?


EDIT -- This looks similar to your thread from last December:

Is it for a different application?

Thread 'How might electronics be different if AC voltage was 72V at 45 Hz?'

Hey guys. I have a question related to electricity and alternating current. Say an alien fictional society developed electricity, and settled on a standard like 73V AC current at 46 Hz. How would appliances be designed, and what impact would the lower frequency and voltage have on transformers, wiring, TVs, computers, LEDs, motors, and heating, assuming the laws of physics and technology are the same as on Earth?

Thread 'What happens if shielded cable has a short to the shield?'

While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...

Thread 'Why does the amperage go real high if there is a low voltage short?'

I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...
