    The document summarizes a wire tracer receiver circuit that can be used to locate a break in a wire or trace the path of electrical wiring. The simple circuit consists of a short wire antenna, a high-pass filter, an amplifier IC, an output transistor, and a loudspeaker. It receives the distinctive tone transmitted by a corresponding wire tracer circuit to help identify the location of wires when tracing electrical circuits. Adjusting the amplification potentiometer allows the receiver to pick up the signal from tens of centimeters away without a direct electrical connection, as long as the user is holding the ground connection.
