No, actually, I think 30 hours is just about right. If you're an electronics assembler for a living, it might take a bit less; but 30 hours is just about what I spent on mine. Of course, I double check everything before soldering; and I solder each component one at a time. I figure that a) I don't want to see any smoke and b) if I have to troubleshoot, at least let it be for something that wasn't my stupid mistake!

After all, the goal is to end up with a working radio; not to end up with a working radio in the shortest amount of time! We can go to the FDIM building contest for that!
