Here! Here! I'm totally with you on that one. Size is an issue for me. While KX1 is small, I want smaller.
While on this subject of mono-band qrp transceivers - having built almost everything in the Elecraft catalog multiple times (3 x K2, 2 x K1, 3 x KX1), I was wondering if anyone had some ideas on a beginner's complete homebrew transceiver. My knowledge of radio electronics is strictly hobby level. But, I'm really anxious to try building something from scratch. Anyone recall a good article on say a 40 meter 2-3 watt transceiver for which parts are readily available? I've looked through the books I have and haven't found anything suitable so far. tnx & 73, Doug -- K0DXV On 4/8/2011 10:24 PM, Mike Morrow wrote: > I just wrote: > >> I could be very content with a KX0-15, in my pipe dream! > One thing I should emphasize is that any viable design that would > interest me *must* utilize PIC/DDS technology, just like the KX1 > and the SWL DSW.
