Hi Ashhar,

I sent you a series of photos to the phonestock email. I don't think hotmail likes big photo files.

Have now had about 5 QSO's with the rig and have made a few modifications.

For my crystals which are 9.0 MHz --seems like 100PF works best for all capacitors. That made the audio sound better. I also tried substituting a commercial 9.0 Mhz filter in the radio and while there was some improvement --the homebrew filter is quite good.

I added a small 25K pot as a mic gain control. seems like I could overdrive the radio with the microphone I am using.

I also had to add a second relay. There is a dpdt relay at the linear board just like on the schematic. However I was getting stray RF feedback --so I added a second spst relay right at the bandpass network on the mainboard-- now there is no rf feedback.

Have you given any thought to adding a simple AGC system. Loud stations really play havoc on receive -- some sort of system to change the bias level on the Rcv IF amp might be easy to implement.

I hope to get it in a metal box this next week.

Thanks again for such a neat project.
