Hello,
Should I get the?Two Tinned Tunas (EZ Build) and the?Tuna Tin 2 40th Anniversary Issue?
Other than the obvious that one kit includes a tuna can where as the other does not.? Are the designs the same?
Anyways, I was thinking of getting another Two Tinned Tunas.? My kits I built years ago got damaged or parts lost in my last move.? ?Going forward, I will put my kits into an enclosure.? At a minimum, keep it in a cheap plastic food container.? But preferably in a metal enclosures.? I found aluminum enclosures on Jameco for $9 that worked for me.
I also came across a Kindle book called?Oscilloscope Applications for the QRP Enthusiast?and they use one of the original Tune Tin transmitter in the book.? I was thinking I could use the kit from QRPme.? Of course, the kit from QRPme was designed to meet today's FCC requirements where the harmonics must be 43dB down compared to 30dB prior to 2003.
I was thinking of getting another Sudden Receiver for the same reasons where parts got damaged or lost.? I was wanting to build a Direct Conversion Receiver thinking I never built one of these types of radios.? Then I re-read the Sudden Receiver kit is based on the?G3RJV Sudden Kit.? Searching online more about this old kit, I discovered it is a Direct Conversion Receiver.
Lately, I have been trying to learn more about radio electronics and its theory and math.? These QRP radios are a good way to learn these things.? You blow a transistor - no problem - replace it with another cheap transistor.
Anyways, a big thanks to Rex and others for creating these kits.
