EMRFD Chapter 9 Errata.
(18 April 09)
Chapter 9 figures: (This applies to the entire chapter.) Many of the schematics in this chapter
are missing the semiconductor types used. The
usual NPN is a 2N3904 while the 2N3906 is the PNP.
The JFET of choice is the J310, or U310 for RF. The
op-amps are LM837N or 5532 with the LM837N preferred for
early stages where noise is critical. A 10 pF chip capacitor
between op-amp output and the inverting input will usually cure
instability. (24Feb03, update 2Mar03, update

p9.34. Fig 9.62. The problem is still
here. The problem has to do with the TUF-1 and TUF-3 mixers which
have 4 pins. A PC layout will have 4 holes in a row. But this
does not mean that it can be shoved into the board in either possible way.
This figure should explain the nature of the mixer. Essentially,
the pin that is attached to the mixer can is the grounded one and should
go into the PC board hole that attaches to ground. It's not complicated
if you look at the package and then the schematic.
The proper circuit is

continue to be missing component values related to the filter at the
bottom of the figure. A proper schematic is shown here.
