What would be really neat is sets of modules that are like block
diagrams. Various mixers , fixed frequency oscillators, maybe a vackar
VFO, DDS VFO, Tayloe detector, IF amps, detectors, mixers, etc. Publish
all the characterization data (input and output impedance, various
voltage requirements, etc.) along with them. Then you would be able to
plug the bits together to make different types of transmitters,
receivers, transverters, and such. Think of the mini module kits, but
more variety.
While I don't shy away from kit building, through hole or SMD,
functional blocks would allow people like mmyself to more easily
explore the design / engineering side of radio.
Just a thought,
