Something New to Build!!

[Rolf Gloeckner]

Good Morning

What is the connection to Heathkit? If you like to advertise these kits,
there are enough servers for QRP stuff.
I believe we should respect the function of this server. As a result of non
Heathkit related messages, more and more good people cancel the
subscribtion of this server.

> Oak Hills released a five band superhet QRP rig.  It offers RIT, AGC, CW

$349, is

should

(OHR-400),

kit,

> Elecraft is about a month away from releasing the K2.  This is a
high-tech
> radio with a PLL synthesizer that runs 10 watts, CW/SSB, 10-160.  It
includes
> a digital display, dual vfo's, RIT, XIT, memory keyer, and more features
than
> you can shake a stick at, including an optional antenna tuner with
latching
> relays.  Call it "HW5400-like".  Except, unlike the HW-5400, this one
should
> be very easy to build because it doesn't have point-to-point wiring, and
it
> was designed by Eric Swartz and Wayne Burdick (the designer of the
Sierra).  I
> won't even try to describe all of the features that this rig will have.
Check
