The circuit consists of two blocks. Block 1is a multivibrator and this has an equal mark/space ratio to turn
the RF stage on and off. Block 2 is an RF oscillator. The feedback to keep the stage operating is provided
by the 27p capacitor. The frequency-producing items are the coil (made up of the full 7 turns) and the 47p
air trimmer. These two items are called a parallel tuned circuit. They are also called a TANK CIRCUIT as
they store energy just like a TANK of water and pass it to the antenna. The frequency of the circuit is
adjusted by the 47p air trimmer.
