Folks,
Japan CQ magazine just published an article about HT-1A CW Transceiver Kit and it brought many more orders than expected. Perhaps home brewing is one of the best choices while home staying due to COV.
JL1KRA sent over an email from his customer. As I don¡¯t read Japanese, with the help of the Google translation, let me try to translate the main part of it. Correct me if necessary.
The other day, I received HT-1 at Kinoshita in Obama City, Fukui Prefecture.
HT-1 is complete. But 95% is a finished product? It is not something to be able to say proudly because it did.¡¡Lol
¡¾Production impression¡¿
¡¤ The SMD parts were fitted, so it was helpful.
¡¤ It is wonderful that the attention points and the mounting order were made appropriate manual using the photograph.
¡¤ The idea of switching AF and RF volume is Good.
¡¤ It is good to know the adjustment point by the LED of the inside.¡¡
¡¤ I was surprised that you put VR for RF.
¡¤ Receiving sensitivity is very good. I put -120dB from SG and tested it, but i was able to receive it.
¡¤ I was surprised to see that the maximum that two buttons and three main dials could do all the control.
¡¤ It is good to be able to receive LSB.
¡¤ The Auto function of the backlight is indispensable at the time of mobile use.
¡¤ I wanted the Elekey Off function so that i could use the straight key if possible.
¡¤ The card operation manual is good because it can be pasted on the main body.
HT-1 is probably it! Operability & functionality I guess that Nakajima-san was involved because I feel a considerable part of the Japanese idea in each manual.
I think you can call it <HT-1 Little Giant>.
Thank you very much for your efforts to be able to purchase at this amount of money.
The enjoyment has increased in the coming summer.
* An external speaker connection jack is installed from the RF volume and the internal speaker on the back (which will be drilled into the housing at a later date).
I'll send you two completed pictures of the little giant.
Yoshio Kinoshita, Obama City, Fukui Prefecture
Thanks,
