I bought one of the last kits from WA3RNC ... more to come ...
First impressions
PROs | CONs |
No fiddling with menues | Switches do not feel sleek |
Compact but servicable | WA3RNC decided to shutdown business due to age |
AF output high enough to drive an external speaker | |
Clever construction with these two stacked PCBs | |
Well written manual | |
Excellent prepared kit. Each build-step has the parts in its own foil tube | |
Very effective manual AGC control | |
High RF power up to 9W | |
Starting at 10VDC input voltage the transceiver can deliver 5W on all bands |
