Re: Hissing sound
Changing the capacitance at C102/C103 will adjust the frequecy of the BFO, , typically at 11.998500 mhz. Farhan found that with 47pf at C102 and with all five 12mhz crystals matched, the BFO was

A really cheap and simple option worth trying is an indoor dipole. Check out this page, http://www.swharden.com/wp/2010-02-07-simple-diy-stealth-apartment-antenna-for-20m-and-40m/, and omit the 20m

Re: BITX40 package size
The NPN's powered from the "TX" 12v rail do not get power unless the PTT switch is pressed to transmit. I suggest you concentrate on the receiver first. When checking out the transmitter, no need to
