Abstract
A tuning circuit for a high frequency receiver in which the received frequency is determined by a voltage-controlled oscillator, the present tuning frequency is indicated by a counter connected to the oscillator and producing a representation of each digit of the decimal number identifying the current received frequency, representations of the digits of the number identifying the desired received frequency are fed in via a keyboard and stored in a dynamic memory having a feedback connection from its last memory cell to its first memory cell, the decimal number representations are compared in a comparator to produce a control voltage that brings the oscillator frequency to the desired value, the comparator being capable of comparing only one digit of the number representations at a time and being associated with multiplex circuitry which supplies the digits of corresponding significance thereto in sequence, starting with the most significant digit, and a station tuning memory is provided to store representations of the frequency and band of selected broadcast stations and is connected by a linkage circuit to the dynamic memory to permit transfer in either direction between the memories of station frequency and band representations.
