You might look at the "Softrock 40" small board. Great capability. It does have some SMT surface mount chips on it. I am sure you can get some help with them if you need to like I did for the first time. Small, cheap (was $10 in the beginning). It is a receiver or a single band or another kit I think has up to 4 bands and it sends data to the PC and decodes CW and audio SSB and even psk I think. The display looks like a spectrum scope and you click and it decodes or you hear the ssb audio. Neat. The K3 version (vs 40, 20 , 15, 10 meter versiond) can also be used as a spectrum display for the K3 I am told.

It was a piece of #...@#$%! Did not even work when I completed it. Does anyone know of a simple radio kit (like the old Heath crystal radio kit) that is of decent quality? He was so disappointed, I was also. He loves to listen while make HF contacts using my K3. 73 Alan W1HYV _________________________________________________________________ Windows Live™ Hotmail®: Search, add, and share the web’s latest sports videos.
