Just built a nifty little kit, the Pixie 2 from KennComm, a company that sells some very interesting bits and pieces..
A nice little kit, ideal for a beginner like me who keeps trying to learn Morse code (which of course is required to actually use this thing. I have it on 80m (3.58Mhz) but it can operate on any band up to 10m with some minor part substitutions.
US$29.95 plus some shipping if you are outside the US.
A nice little project for a cold afternoon. I do love these little things that people build into Altoids tins. Such a great form factor and so well shielded.
What parts do you need to replace to make it a 10meter?
ReplyDeleteThat's a big shift in frequency, well the output filter for one thing, but I don't know that you'd get a crystal to oscillate directly at 28MHz.
