Re: [Elecraft] SMT project thanks
And an ambitious project, indeed, Vic! I feel bad about suggesting a starter kit LED Tune kit while your sights were set so much higher. hi 73 good luck. de Joe aa4nn I've decided to build the AMQRP Micro-908 (see http://www.amqrp.org/kits/micro908/index.html#Description%202 They are currently sold out, but expect to produce more kits soon. This is an ambitious project, but what you get is amazing. Vic, K2VCO Fresno CA ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

What appeals to me about the Micro-908 is that it's more than an exercise, being very useful for a lot of things. I'm not worried about it being complicated; one thing I learned from building the K2 is that I can do anything if I break it into small enough pieces and take as much time as I need with each! It also helps to have a comfortable, clean, neat work area and the right tools. I want to build a software-defined radio some day and this is a place to start. -- 73, Vic, K2VCO Fresno CA http://www.qsl.net/k2vco ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

[Elecraft] SMT project thanks
Thanks to everyone (and there were many) who made suggestions for a project to learn SMT techniques. I've decided to build the AMQRP Micro-908 (see http://www.amqrp.org/kits/micro908/index.html#Description%202). They are currently sold out, but expect to produce more kits soon. This is an ambitious project, but what you get is amazing. I've already built a new work area with a smooth white surface, a powerful lamp, esd precautions, etc. I have an Optivisor magnifier and various little tools that I also use for tiny model railroad thingys. I'm all set to move into a new world of DSP, software defined radio, and who knows what that SMT makes possible! -- 73, Vic, K2VCO Fresno CA http://www.qsl.net/k2vco ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
