None BiTX,
but hope it is of interest to others if it hasn’t been mentioned elsewhere.
QRP Labs are in the process of kitting up a new Mono Band 5W CW Kit for the HAM Bands.
A great feature for those with minimal test gear or field use is:- B.I.T.E.
Often found on commercial / Military equipment.
Built
In
Test
Equipment
For alignment of the RF & AF Stages.
Preliminary Manual can be viewed:-
No commercial connection etc, etc.
Other than a happy, past customer.

Ordered. This order will force me to start learning CW ;-)
And possibly will keep me from modifying my BITX40 for CW operation.?

Have to make room!!

Hi all
Forgive the OT post please...
The 320 available kits from the first batch sold out in just over a day since yesterday's launch (320 was the number that remained after the Friedrichshafen hamfair pre-orders and 90 YOTA buildathon kits). Some people might have tried to order and seen the "Out of Stock" message on the shop page? . Now I have set the stock to 500 again, and a note that these should be considered as PRE-orders for the next batch of 500 kits, which are expected to be completed in mid-September.?

Chris,
You can set your currency preference at
the top of the 'shop' pages.
It's UK Based, but is kitted &
shipped from Japan.
Delivery is reliable, and nothing gone
missing for me.

That 5 digit number is your Order #, not your 5W Transceiver waiting list number. You should get an email with the Serial Number (SN). That is the waiting list number.

Hi hi. Sales in the first 24 hours totaled 301 kits. In the next 36 hours after that, 109 more kits. Things are slowing... but it's been pretty hectic around here!

I ordered two units today (the other for a friend to help saving a few dollars on shipping) but only got one serial number, 573. Is that a serial number for the transaction or am I missing another serial number?
