| Description: The multiPIG+ is an all-band, high-performance 160-10 meter ham band CW transceiver designed for the radio experimenter. It is NOT designed for the beginner, but IS designed for those hams and hobbyists with the ability to use an ohmmeter, and those that have a fair understanding of HF RF. If building and operating a high quality QRP CW transceiver that is easily modified is appealing, then the MP+ may be for you. This rig will include a set of seven (7) PCBs, all the same size (2.5" x 3.8"). These PCBs will be supplied as 7 individual kits to build the complete multiPIG+. Two main criteria were used in the design: Make it a kit with the experimenter in mind, AND make the transceiver a top-notch rig. Designed and supplied by Dieter "Diz" Gentzow, W8DIZ, who says, "You can buy the kits individually. My suggestion is to start with the the PLL kit. It can be used as a stand-alone freq generator or as a VFO for another project. Then get the FCC kit. It houses the Freq Counter and other circuits, but you can use the freq counter to display the PLL freq, or use it as a general lab counter. Here is the order I would build the MP+: PLL, FCC, BPF, RCVR, LPF, XMTR." (The prototype is shown in the photo, in the process of being developed.)
