The whip antenna looks like this. The tuning LED can be lit in my QTH.

? Guys,
The blue PCB just arrived. I just shipped the first batch to domestic customers earlier today.?
Beta testers worldwide, your kits will be shipped Monday. For those who ordered 2 or more kits, you will get a tiny whip antenna for free. I haven’t decided if the whip antenna will be a part of the kit. The whip antenna is convenient but performance is not as good as a regular antenna. 在 2023年11月30日,06:29,Adam Rong via groups.io <rongxh@...> 写道:

Thanks guys. Now we have enough beta testers.
Please hold the horse and wait for my formal announcement. It
won't be long.
Thanks,
Adam

Adam,
Thanks. Can it demodulate SSB stations? This does not appear on the spec sheet.

Hi Mike,
It is a modern radio chip. It can pick up several stations here even with a whip antenna of 30cm.

Great project Adam! For an easier tuning, I would use a multi-turn potentiometer. Of course, this involves other costs.

Jim,
See this chart I put together. Overload happens for strong
stations. If you are really serious, add SMA attenuator of -20dB.

Thanks,
Adam

Hi Adam,?
What is the total frequency range covered?? Is
it one continuous band or is band switching required?? Is mode
switching required?? Can the receiver handle direct input from
a full size antenna such as a 40M dipole without overload?
Thanks !

Sounds great !? What frequencies are
covered and what were you using for the antenna?
Thanks for the video.

Larry,
It is great idea to use it for kids. You will need to solder SOP16. The manual will be available when you receive them.

And it is the prototype I built on my Choc board. I'd say
the performance is very impressive.
