Just completed the 40m alignment and all is working perfect. Now onto stuffing the rest of the RF board components...Hope to have the radio complete this weekend.
I have to assemble the DSP kit yet, then install all the options after alignment of the other band stages. I have the NB, SSB & 60m/XVTR kits built already, plus all the headers installed. Took a bit to figure out I needed to jumper this & that pin on the headers since I installed the headers instead of the W jumpers as I built the RF board up through the 40m stage. This is the 10w version. I picked up the AN762 linear amp board from FAR at the Orlando hamfest to build an external amp for those occasions where I want to run more than 10w. Building a 14mc IF LF/MF transverter once the radio is complete. This radio will see lots of use on 600, 1750 & 2200 meters. I have to say this is one super easy radio to build. The enamel wire is a breeze to strip/tin with some rosin and a 80w iron. Piece of cake winding the toroids with those procedures and pictures in the manual. More info later...back to the bench I go!!! This is tons of fun.
