Been thinking about this today and have done some hook ups to check.

If I remove the choke from the diagram and instead use the 100K resistor in its place so as to give me a circuit, I hear mostly a 50hz hum from the mains here in the UK.

Could I filter this using passive components, but still keep this 'sniffer' sensitive to all other fqs?

 

Thanks

Mike


Mike,

Look at this circuitry for a way to boost vlf signals and reduce the power hum. This design is essentially an untuned radio receiver with vlf bandwidth. The filter cuts the hum.
