Last I checked , no. But he plans to have them in December 2008

I think the ATS3B (by Kd1JV) is your best option. It is a surface mount kit. puts out legal limit QRP(!) and it is basically a top end qrp transceiver . It also does digital. If you are beginning in Construction, the kit is not recommended.

Thanks for the reply.

Yeah, That is my rule of thumb. If the moise level increases when the antenna is connected, then a preamp is not required. because this wasnt my case with this particular receiver(!), I was wonderig whether a preamp was good.

Thanks a lot

I built the receiver side of the funster transceiver

http://www.qrp.pops.net/funster.asp (link)

I just have the T50-2 4t : 39t with 68pF as shown as the filter.

Now I am using a 7031 KHz xtal. But I want it to be a VXO. So should I put a small (10-70) variable cap where the 68pf || 10pf cap below the xtal ?

also would the VE7GC pre amp be a good aide to this rcvr?

http://www.qrp.pops.net/preamp.asp (preamp link, scroll down a bit to see the design)

one example would be the microR2 series by KK7B in January 1993 QST. It used the 88mH coils in the audio filter.

I think the Binaural receiver also uses these.

Check local hamfests and remember to put the message out in your club.I am sure somebody will have it.It will probably cost $20 or so new.Google "Nebraska Surplus Sales" and "Cardwell Condensers" and "Fair Radio Sales".


these might have what you need

If you are looking for a capacitance meter, go for the AADE meter kit(google it). I myself am going to get one.

If i remember correctly, there are 3 leads sticking out,

Now if you hold it with the leads facing AWAY from you, the middle one is ground, the left lead would be 0-60pF, and the extreme right one would be 0-160pF.

give some more details? is it a regen or a Direct conversion receiver?

what's the pot for ?

i have had my licence over a year. i checked into a few nets but the thing that appeals to me MOST is HOMEBREWING/QRP. i just love when u make a contact on equpment u built urself

PIV is peak inverse voltage. this means how much reverse bias a diode can handle.silicon rectifiers were used back in the 50s(maybe 60s or 40s) so i would suggest try to find them at Antique Electronic Supply

i am looking for VHF SSB and CW rigs . want to be on he cheap side . any suggestion?

your rig should have CW and SSB modes . if you want to be on the real cheap side , a CW only rig is your best bet.

i spent 80$ on buildin a radio even when there was a persn offering onne for 40$.i dont regret itcause i learned a lot

congratulations! i hope to get my first dx CW contact shortly
