This almost has me ordering one.
My first kit was in summer of 1958 (I was 14). $19.95 bought me a
3-tube regen receiver - Knight kit Ocean Hopper (with all band
coils). I didn't even have a soldering iron which my Dad bought me
for $5.95 for my birthday. I had several Heathkits and Hammarlund
and Clegg and a EF Johnson which were all off-shelf. Later some
Kenwoods, Yaesu's, and Icom's, even two Tentec.
Since then, I have built many surface-mount kits from DEMI and W6PQL,
etc. I'm near the end on SM and retired my kit making business last
spring. This fall I learned I will no longer be climbing towers.
If I did not already own a K3, KX3 (w/2m module), and KXPA100, I
might be interested in the QRP version of the K2 to use as IF for
mw. Guess I got enough on my plate to get finished. But an
intriguing thought.
