The point is how does one start. One the cheap side if you don't have all you need you can always find a SK amp on ebay or in estate sales that can get you started either with the parts collection or

I agree with a lot of what you say and in general, most of it. They are, or can be one of the simplest projects. Generally yes, but not always. There are a lot of "it all depends" Welll... that's tru

/*snip*/ I would only build an amplifier from HAMfests and the Inet. Building your own is part of the fun in HAM Radio for us technologically minded HAMS, that is what drew us in in the first place.

Yup! And to me it's an expensive way to go when your time is figured in. Make out a shopping list and then find the best places to get the parts. 73 Roger (K8RI) _____________________________________
