Thanks for the many replies; mic is sold. To the M who can't find the parts locations: I have the same problem. But, it gets logarithmically easier as you populate the board! Once a location is "filled" your eyes/brain don't have to 'scan' there any more, and so finding the missing places gets MUCH easier as you go along. Not unlike a jigsaw puzzle.
To the K who likes the SWL PSKxx rigs but laments their being rockbound and sans tuner: someone else already commented you don't need a VFO, by design, and I'll add ... because they are monoband units, field operations with these rigs are ENHANCED because you can BRING a pre-built monoband antenna with you. I think it'd be daft for Aptos to cook up a rig that competes with something already mightily well done, and the new versions from K1SWL require no serial port. For the PSK20, I suggest a sloper made of a folded dipole. You can make one from some 300 ohm twinlead. Use a piece for a phasing line, and with just one small capacitor, you can get it to a 50 ohm point VERY easily. Quick to roll up, a snap to deploy, only 1 vertical support needed, cheap, always works like a champ. _______________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
