Just re-read Wes's QST article and will be building this fb rig winter. Has anyone built it Manhattan style? If so any pictures? ----------------------------- I love this radio stuff ! 72, 73 Terry, WAØITP www.wa0dx.org/wa0itp www.4sqrp.com www.hams4u.com www.qrpspots.com

Hi Terry. I have uploaded some pictures of my version to the Photos section under Ultimate_Tx_II. This was built from the Kanga_Us kit that was offered in the QST article. I haven't put it in the case yet, as I'm still working on mods for it. I've added multiple crystals, but I want to implement electronic switching of them, as the long wire lengths seem to affect the oscillator. I'd also like to get a larger variable cap for the TXO I am attempting to add. As you can see, I am an old Heathkit fan, and created a front panel overlay with photoshop. The idea is to print this photo out at Walmart

Hello Randy, Very nicely done. I like the retro Heath look, its very classy. I hadn't thought of splittting out the oscillator onto a separate board. but can see some advantages, more real estate for switched crystals, super txo, or dds. Nice pix and thanx vy much.. ----------------------------- I love this radio stuff ! 72, 73 Terry, WAØITP www.wa0dx.org/wa0itp www.4sqrp.com www.hams4u.com www.qrpspots.com ----- Original Message -----
