Re: Ten Slop Bucket kits left for sale!
Steve,
LOL.. yeah, I was catching up on emails.? After I sent this one I went back to my unopened emails and noticed one from you saying they were all gone.??
No worries!? Doesn't dampen the fun at all.

Re: Should I do another batch of Slop Bucket kits?

Jerry,
Here is the link to the mod. You would only have to add the three 100pf BPF caps and change your VFO frequency, no chips involved unless you want to. I used Don's, ND6T's modified Raduino code for a channelized display, works great.

I will have to check it out, my bitx40 is more of a on the shelf or table, while i think the slopbucket begs to be taken portable.
And right now my bitx 40 has an analogue vfo, I am certain 60 will involve chips and software at least. Do you has a link to the drop dead simple solution? Who knows, maybe a 40 meter slop bucket could have that as well?
Either way, if Steve makes another slop bucket run I will definitely buy at least one.

i have nothing for 60
spozed to be good for nvis
Could be good for local portable disaster communication
maybe as an option for a 40 meter kit (or maybe a 75 meter one)
its mostly a kind of low power “band” already ( set of channels ?)
would need a good way to align it so every one could be sure the frequencies are spot on
it would be kind of a niche offering
and a relatively low cost way to “try out” 60?
i would buy at least one, two if you would let me

Should I do another batch of Slop Bucket kits?
#poll
The Slop Bucket SSB rig wasn't an instant sell out like the CW rigs always were. So, I wonder if I doing another batch is worth the investment of time and money.? I'm thinking maybe a 40M version this time?? If I get close to 50 "yes, I'd definitely buy one", then I'll go ahead and start ordering parts. If not, well, guess we'll move on.? 73, Steve KD1JV?

Slop bucket kits all sold.
Subject line says it all. Thanks for all the interest in this rig.

Gang,
I just noticed that the 4SQRP club has a 4" x 4.5" x 1.5" box made of PCB material which the Slop Bucket board will fit into.?
Looks like a good option for those who haven't packaged their board yet or did a hack job of it.?

Re: Slopbucket #006 Is Alive
The speaker volume will likely go up significantly once it’s fully enclosed. Steve KD1JV ? ? I did not add any additional amplifier, the audio level from the speaker is low, but for now, I am OK with that. Chances are that most of the time I’ll be using a head set. ? ?

Re: Slopbucket #006 Is Alive
Looks good Karl.
Did you need to add amplification for the speaker?

i finally finished the electrical work in my Slopbucket. The only thing remaining is some more mechanical work: it still needs a top and same labels for the jacks (and of course the top as well). I decided to add a small speaker. That required some surgery on the LEDs, and I had to move one of the electrolytic to the back of the board.?  Karl Heinz - K5KHK?
