Or get a ThumbDV and plug it into a USB port on your computer. I have one plugged into a powered hub on a Raspberry Pi, hooked into my home network, running AMBEServer. With some dynamic DNS jiggery-p

I'm fond of my Dremel 2000-01 VersaTip. It's a bit larger than most, but it has a very comfortable grip, LOTS of fuel capacity, and gets easily hot enough to solder coax connectors! I use it where I c

In CW Academy, one of the instructors shared a document on ham radio operating ethics. It's more up to date than the "novice accent" article -- which was also shared -- and is probably far more accura

Actually...infotainment IS in the dictionary. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/infotainment Gwen, NG3P

Oh, there's a Yahoogroup, too. https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/TenTec506Rebel/info?guccounter=1

Craig, it looks like I was right. There's code out there to add a keyer to the radio's firmware. The Rebel mailing list is probably worth joining, and there's a modified codebase for it over on Github

Given it's Arduino-based, I wonder if there might be a sketch that could be added to the existing codebase for it to add keyer capability? There's a number of Arduino-based keyer sketches out there, b

Dale...I believe it's called a "QCX". At least, that's what I built. ;) 73, Gwen, NG3P

Looking forward to it!

I'm interested in this little gem myself. I like having multiple options, and like building radios! 73, Gwen, NG3P

Oh, yes, Chris! He and Dave Jones down under do the Amp Hour podcast. They're great!

I've got an Emtech ZM-2 I built about a decade ago. Still works like a champ. It'll frequently tune what my Elecraft T1 won't. I needed to use it for my Cricket 30 because the antenna was really lousy

I still need to build mine. I think it'll be soon. Gwen, NG3P

I was running a register at Borders books a bunch of years ago, and this girl on the next register took me aside to show me a $2 bill. She wanted to know if we should call security. I asked her why sh

Glad to give you a mention, John, you had just what I needed, and you got them to me quickly and for a really good price. I'll check out your website and see if there are some other goodies I can use!

I accidentally did that when I was 15. I thought I'd unplugged the iron, and picked it up by the wrong end, grabbing the heating element rather than the tip. I didn't even feel pain from it at first..

I'll try that. I have a Hi-Per-Mite lot in my box of small kits waiting to be built. Gwen, NG3P

I got a multi-crystal switch board and a bunch of crystals from "possumlodge" on Ebay. He's very responsive to questions, and his prices are good. I got 40m crystals for my Pixies, 80m for my Cricket

Site says the Keyer has 10 available, but won't let me order even one. Says it doesn't have the quantity on hand. Must have all been snatched up already but not yet deducted from inventory. Or there's
