Re: manhattan style pads
Yes, true - I found that Rapid Electronics sell a very useful resistor
variety pack containing 1000 resistors in 63 values from 4.7ohms to 10M. The
number of each varies from 5 to 30 depending how

Hi
I have just posted a block diagram of the BITX - I hope I have
correctly identified all the section of the main schematic diagram.
Let me know of any errors.

TV Balun
Hello, I have uploaded a photo of a two-hole "binocular" ferrite
core (see G4DFV album). Ashtar, please can you tell me if this is
anything like the TV balun that you have used?

Re: Chip pad
Very nice pads, applicable to many projects. I use an 8 pin Motorola
microcontroller in my Morse Code training device, and this will be great
for those projects too. Info on the MCD is on my webpage

Your measurements explain my results then. Instead of tap/faucet

Re: Chip pad
An easier method to make a pad for non-SMD IC's is to use 0.1"
Veroboard instead of plain copper laminate.
Then only one saw/knife cut is required.
KISS?
