I have access to a 3D printer. I suspect others also would like to use your file to make a case for the combo. How can one obtain the file? Ken Ketner KA5ELD PO Box 65135 Lubbock, TX 79464-5135

Thanks Jim You nailed it. That transistor had a short. Tested it with my Peak semiconductor tester. I stuck in another one. Now it toots quite well. I am working to put together a Kortge transceiver u

Greetings Jim: I'm grateful for your reply. The MB board I am building is marked V1.2B. I have a schematic also marked V1.2B. I don't have photo capabilities just now, so I can't send a photo (perhaps

Greetings folks. Finally getting around to building Magic Box. Can’t get a side tone at the side tone test step. Replaced R46 from 10meg to 100 ohm. Prior tests ok. Is this a known problem? Suggestion

Greetings: Thanks for the reply. Gottacricket. Finished it yesterday. As promised, got .7 watt out directly on my official Oak Hills qrp wattmeter at first smoke test. It retains smoke. Nice sidetone

Will the little chirper take 12 volts for a bit more output? I recently saw a circuit, Tayloe simple tx at Hendricks kits, that got 4 watts on 3 parallel bs170 s. Ken Ketner KA5ELD PO Box 65135 Lubboc

Concerning spotting, could one set sw1 position key to 4 instead of the specified 3 positions, then use the fourth, hopefully now available, set of switch contacts to set up spotting in a more replica

Finished my BJ kit. Handsome appearance. Getting 5 watts tx. Spotting is off, as far as I can tell. Could be the front panel thing. I got a change in rx freq also after bolting pcb and panel together.

The manual calls for L2 twice, but apparently the first l2 is a 1 uh near r17, but the second is not l2 but is l4 470 uh which is called l4 on the board but marked there as 1 m near c19. Ken Ketner KA

Greetings: I am a newbie to this list, although not to qrp or kit building or to following the history of the excellent 4sqrp club. Recently I acquired a cyc 40 unbuilt kit from the web, built same, o
