This is a complex kit with a lot of parts, and a lot of work. For your efforts, if you build slowly and carefully, you will have a working, QRP transceiver that can operate in all modes with excellent abilities. It is not for unassisted beginners, I would say. It is an SDR radio, and you have to have a fast computer with a good sound card, as this kit provides the hardware to allow your computer to function as a high level Software Defined Radio. The Genesis 3020 is not a stand-alone transciever, but a very nicely designed backbone, so you can run high end (free) SDR software on your computer. With the Genesis 3020 I have made contacts worldwide with this rig, and have have a ball using digital modes as well, such as WSPR and PSK31. I found that a fan was required for digital modes and slightly reduced power, but that's par for the course. SSB/CW out is around 5-6 watts. See their website for details, and also check out the Yahoo Group: GenesisRadio. Online support is very good, and the owners are there online in the group to assist. WJ2V
