Kits and Parts 5 Watter build
All: I just finished the Kits and Parts 5 Watter for 40M. As you can see, it's not a beginner's board: but Diz provides details that, in conjunction with Chuck Adams' excellent assembly manual

Re: Just Thinking??
My memory of the early days of SSB were that it really started with phasing rigs. 9MHz. Everything below 9MHz was LSB and everything above 9MHz was USB. We can do that again with the QRP Labs Rx. I

Re: Low cost Visor Magnifier even lower cost
I find I can't wear those headbands, with or without my readers on, they make me feel nauseous. Looks like it may be time to experiment with the USB microscope for smd work. -- Terry VK5tm

Re: Just Thinking??
Bob I concur that its more fun to not use the sa612, except to note the k2 uses one in the product detector. If you don't have a qcx they have a wonderful receiver. It uses a massive number of parts

Re: Just Thinking??
The filter can be easier but the IQ/phasing a large part of the work is at audio. Doing it with high speed switch ICs can simplify it or even DBMs for the RF work. A pair of DBMs and a twisted wire

Re: Just Thinking??
Hi Bob, I experimented using two 602s to make a Quadrature Demodulation receiver IF. Used a 7MHz crystal because that's what I had in my bin of parts. Lowered part count of phase audio shift by only

Re: Low cost Visor Magnifier even lower cost
Be vareful of dollar store readers. I bought a 4+ last year and they are ground to 4+ only in the center. A good pair (maybe $5 to $25) are ground all the way across so you can look out of them off

Re: Just Thinking??
BTW: I am looking at using the QRP Labs receiver module with the phase shift network to replace the 4.915MHz IF in a design similar to the Burdick designs. To eliminate the crystal matching. Bob

Re: Just Thinking??
Kurt, My understanding is the 602/612 have limited dynamic range. It was interesting to read the development of the Burdick designs. I guess the K4 is completely different. Bob Macklin K5MYJ Seattle,

Re: Just Thinking??
Bob Cool stuff. I enjoy reading your posts. The k2 and k3 use passive mixers, hence the rf preamp. I use the preamp nearly 100 percent with my k2, as its light on front end gain even on 80m, and its a
