Interesting data. One should recall that the Cyclone has a similar PA/shared with receive mixer architecture, so the Cyclone would provide some hints on higher output power. Several factors may

Jim, I think you mean 0.02 Watts, not 0.2 Watts. 20mW makes the effort worth even less. However, if someone is having to do surgery on an ill

Since I happen to have a sizable handful of both 2N7000 and BS170 transistors which are very close to each other in spec, I decided to swap out the 2N7000 in Q2 (PA transistor) to see what change (if

Dear amigos: Tens of thousands, maybe much more radio amateurs and would be hams around the world will certainly enjoy operating on the 40 meters band during the tail end of solar cycle 24 and the

Yes, I caught two crickets tonight. I definitely was QRO - 5 watts compared to their 700 mW. The chirp was loud into east-central KS, despite the QRN. 72, Chas - NK8O

Oops, that's W1AW CW practice, don't think I'll bother calling them. -- Tom Sevart N2UHC St. Paul, KS

 It was a good night Terry! After you, I also worked Charles NK8O. I also heard Jim W0EB calling, but he didn't answer me. The Cricket is just amazing. 73 Bill KV6Z

I hear someone on 3580, not sure if it's another cricket or not. But I'll try to make a QSO as soon as they're done. -- Tom Sevart N2UHC St. Paul, KS

Hi Sean, Good points you make. I wonder if anyone has thought of re-designing the old Heathkit HW-7 or HW-8? They were hugely popular back in the day, simple, cw only and built like a brick

Another good night, with the Cricket, worked Charles NK8O and Bill KV6Z. Jump on over fellow Crickets, lots of fun. -- 72 WAØITP I love this radio stuff. www.wa0itp.com www.4sqrp.com

I heard you on my Cricket Terry, but I don't have a really good antenna on 80. I'm forced to use my 40-20-10 PAR EndFedZ as a 1/4 wave on 80. I can tune it to a low SWR and the Cricket hears ok, but

Nice idea and it is in the notes with your name as credit! Thank you, Sean, no promises but the idea will be discussed. 72....Walter . K5EST

Hi Rocky, I have just a few more pictures to upload, but nothing more revealing than what's there. At that time I'll delete the blank links that are left over from

On 3.57969 right now, calling CQ with my Cricket and a Bug - some of you saw the HazMat bug at OzarkCon. If you work me you can hear it. If it's too fast, I have a hand key very close by. I'm also
