I also agree that this board is the coolest makers radio I have seen.

This group is awesome and the price point allows for you have fun on a small budget and use up some of those parts in the box on the shelf. Learning RF is a lot of fun and this gives you the basic foundation with which to build your radio to whatever specification you want and to increase your skillset while doing it.

I am a fairly new ham radio being licensed only around 2 years. I have two HF rigs a Kenwood TS-120 which got me on the air and a TS-480SAT that I moded as soon as a received it. I added a hookup on the IF and feed that to a sdrplay which I have configured as a pan adapter. I have it configured perfectly with Simon Brown's (G4ELI) sdr-radio application to give me a full band scope with point and click tuning to any signal on 40m or any other band.

I received my BITX40 last night and had it soldered together and on the air in less than 2 hours just using the basic wiring pictorial and nothing else. I had already added an additional 40 meter antenna to my shack this last weekend in anticipation of its arrival. Having a band scope on my base station I can just tune right into the signals as they are laid out in front of me and I can just pick the strongest one on my 480 and then tune the BITX40 in accordingly. Mine was right on the money right out of the box. A quick TX test with attenuation on my TS-480 showed a solid well-formed output signal.

Any other issues I will enjoy working through and share with the group. I just wanted to share my positive experience with everyone else.

73's and have a great week.
