Woo Hoo!!  Great range for Crickets.  Some of the build session Crickets were reported to be making 1.1W, so they may stretch out even further.  These are the John Waynes of the Cricket population :o)  If you have a John Wayne Cricket, you are lucky - but check the temp of Q2 often.

Check out http://4sqrp.com/cricket.php tmmrw for a new Cricket award invented and hosted by Bill Dekle, KV6Z.  It promises to be great fun.

Pse post your Cricket success right here on the 4sqrp and 4sqrpcricket reflectors , and on QRP-L also. Let the world know that the Crickets are coming.

I didn't get any takers with my CQ effort this morning, but 3 minutes before I quit, and just as the grey line was passing over my house, an RBN Spot popped up from  NC7J in Layton, Utah.

NC7J is 933 miles away and reported a 3 dB SNR. I think that means that my Cricket was twice as strong as the noise.

I see Cricketeer in my future. Oh yeah.

Jim,

    At this point in time, had not planned to sell more boards, and I am waiting to see if Four State will decide to pick it up as a kit offering.  If they decide not to, I will look into accommodating those wanting the board.

Hello David.

Will you be selling more boards or was Ozarkcon the only ones you plan to sell?  If you are going to make more,  how much are you asking for them?

Thank you.

I had 9 extra Soup'er Up'er printed circuit boards from the prototype/beta board run, and they were all purchased at OzarkCon by noon on Saturday.

This is a message for those that purchased those boards.  Decals were included with the board for labeling the filter switch & fine tuning pot on the Bayou Jumper front panel.

Decals are easy to apply, especially if you ever built some plastic model cars, but should you experience an unexplainable boo boo and need another set, let me know and I will see if I can get another set to you.

Let me know how your build goes, and your critique of the operation of the board.

I included in your package, a link for the manual, and the manual includes a Bill-Of-Materials with part numbers and vendor source for the needed parts.

I feel you will agree this little board does 'Soup Up' the Bayou Jumper, which is a GREAT & FUN radio kit to begin with !!

Actually rocky I was planning, once I can get it connected to the web to down load some pc art soft ware.  

If it doesn't work it will go in the recycle bin.

IMHO, if your going to use it just for the Ham Shack...dump the Windows and load up Linux...

It is a bit of a learning curve BUT I am running Linux Mint 18 Cinnamon on an HP Pavillion and liking it much more than WIN 10...

In fact as soon as I get my Linux legs under me I will be converting a Toshiba Satellite over to the same.

If your not sure about the change, you can put Linux on a CD and run it off the disc....that way if you decide not to use it nothing is lost...just eject the disc and reboot back to whatever Windows demon-ware you are comfortable with...

Good Luck
