$190 is a bit steep. But it includes the case and the digital readout.
Also, this is the BITX20A and BITX17A. These kits include a major
redesign of the original BITX, with a dual IRF510 PA and US FCC
compliance. The BITX20 V.3 (which is now the v.3C) is much closer to the
original, and does not include FCC compliance. The builder has to
figure out a way to make the rig legal in the USA. It is also quite
expensive compared to the original kit.
Both of these designs are good kits for the average QRPer. I sort of
lean towards the BITXnnA, but it is now probably a bit much for the average ham.
