Dear Rick Output power is no good if you can't hear. I mean both ways. RX and TX must be clean. More power is not that difficult to come by. It will be interesting of someone brings a modular system

Rick $1000 you say. Having 100W is way down my list. And the handle is way down the list. There is a lot to like about the Elad FDM Duo. If we are talking similar specs and function with 50W... VERY
No love for the Elad? I know the RX does not come with filters but the transceiver?? Is it LPF only? No BPF? PA3AKE filter set looks nice. https://martein.home.xs4all.nl/pa3ake/hmode/bpf_all.html It

Gary It's a long shot but this has cropped up in other, much less expensive, QRP transmitters.... Filter chokes. Continuity does not mean proper inductance. Have seen cases of these things overheatin

Personally, I'd prefer service NOT be included in overhead. I don't want to pay more for something in order to subsidize those who desire or require service that I do not. Give me a 90 day(sufficient
SOTA. To my mind one needs TWO SOTA radios. One 5W-2-W, 40-6, up to 6lb or so,for the easy, < 6 mile RT day hike with a YL carrying the lunch and water and me carrying 20lb of radio, battery, and ant
Looking about on line, I see many small shops and hobby folk working with BGA re-balling and replacement. I bet a half dozen emails would find someone with the equipment and experience to do a one of
Sorry for copying the entire digest and not editing the subject. Everyday I grumble about people doing just that...and then I did it myself.... Looking for a tentec 10m to 2m transverter. will consid
