1) Wouldn't it be better to use one of the ISM bands? Then licensing is not a problem. I'd feel uncomfortable giving radios that operate in the ham bands to people without a license. There are bands 6.765-6.795MHz, 13.553-13.567MHz, and 26.957-27.283 close to our 40, 20, and 12/10 meter bands, and a number of bands in the VHF+ range. The 13MHz one is used by the HiFER <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LowFER> experimenters already. There are also the LowFER and MedFER bands.
2) Does the pixie not meet the requirements? They're cheap ($3-5 on eBay), low power (~150mW), and have QSK. The kits you buy don't have a volume control, but that is simple to add. -- Jeff aa6xa ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
