There is the new 10M version coming out shortly as well, looking forward to it!!!
I know I have several kits not received that will be chasing me across the country as we work our way north to Chicago starting on Sunday. We delayed leaving a couple of days because the TORCON level where we are headed is a 9 today, gulp!!!
My Sea Sprinte will have to get assembled in Rockford, IL when Nani is with the grandbabies and I have slipped back to the RV for a little POTA activation and to make some solder smoke.
What was the bandwidth like at the receiver? I have a 200Hz audio filter I have to build yet, so many kits, so little time. I figure I can't die until I run out of kits to build.
My latest project is in use today, my new Molex connector just came from AMZ:?
I'll check back in a few days Daniel and John!

John,
I like the photos of your RockMite.
Is the QRPme's RockMite ][ CW Transceiver good for someone who has built a Sea Sprite from QRPme?
I am looking into building another radio once I've done all the mods to the Sea Sprite, etc.
My build of the Sea Sprite+ was a success.? And the only mods I have done are the 3rd pin for the crystal and the bypass for the antenna.? ?For the crystal, I simply took a discarded resistor lead and used that for the 3rd pin of the crystal.? No need to cause harm to an innocent crystal... LOL
I am no expert nor beginner, but there have been kits or homebrewing in the past where I failed.? I have 3 kit projects from various places that I have failed and eventually will try fix them.? So, I was happy I built the Sea Sprite radio and it worked.
I think understanding how to diagnose why a radio is not working and how to fix it is an acquired skill set via lots of experience building and fixing kits and homebrewing.? I have not gotten there yet.? Do you suggest a book to read to help fix radio electronics???
