Yay Marco. There are so many hacks/mods on this simple little radio. I am hoping most will remember that this is a very good QRP radio. QRP in itself has it's own set of challenges and roadblocks. Many of the suggested mods won't change that. I'm for simple, inexpensive changes, that allow ham operators to more easily use and enjoy the Bitx. It's not an Elecraft, IC703 or FT817. I remember myself years ago as an audiophile. I listened to the equipment, not the music. Go ahead, try and break into a pile up, answer a lonely CQ'r, have fun. 73

" I listened to the equipment, not the music. "

Amen to that. Sometimes we get so caught up in the perfection of equipment and the doodads, that we forget the whole purpose of the game in the first place.

Radio is for communications. Without using wires. Over considerable distances. And when we think about it, rather mysteriously. So is the internet. But you can't
talk directly from New York to Melbourne, AU without going through a lot of hoops controlled by others. You can on 40m one on one.

But, don't belittle your natural impulses. If making technologies work better is your thing, go for it. Sing it out. We all learn something from the community orchestra.

But the orchestra exists to play symphonies, not to exhibit the virtuoso flautist. It is a good thing to remember.
