Hi, I'm new here, and new to SDR in general, but have been doing quite a bit of reading on the subject. I think I am ready to take the plunge and start building something, but I'm not sure what's the best to build.
The transceiver by YU1LM looks very interesting. Are there any reasons to choose another design over that one? The 35 MHz upper limit is fine, I will be happy to build other components if I want to operate at higher frequencies later. This would be a place to start with the regular HF bands. What's the output level without any amp following? I don't mind QRP or even QRPp operation. If anyone has actually built this rig, please let me know what you think of it, and if there are any changes that should be made or if you discovered any errors in the schematics and PCBs. This may be a dead bug or Manhattan build for me, but I can make the PCB if that is recommended. Thanks, Bruce - WB8OGK
