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.

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.

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.

[Elecraft] SMT project thanks

2006-06-11 Thread Vic K2VCO
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!
