Do you still have this receiver? If so I would like to buy it. Please email
me at w4udx @ juno.com (remove spaces). Thanks.

High Performance, Sensitivity
Even beginners can easily build these high-performance direct conversion
receivers for the HF bands. you'll be pleasantly surprised with their
excellent sensitivity that rivals receivers costing many times more.

You'll
marvel at the clear reception of DX signals from all around the world when
you copy CW, SSB, and even AM signals. You can build it to cover the

entire
band or tune it to cover just a portion of it for smooth band spread

tuning.

The kit is ideal for on-the-go or at-home QRP operation with your

homebrewed
QRP transmitter from the Vectronics 40 meter QRP CW Transmitter Kit.

High performance is achieved with a NE602/612 mixer-oscillator chip
connected differentially to a high gain LM386 audio amplifier. The
oscillator-mixer is voltage regulated by a 78LO5 for beset stability. The
antenna input has a high-Q parallel tuned circuit with a front panel RF

gain
control to minimize interference and prevent overloading from strong
signals. it has smooth varicap tuning with a shielded VFO coil for maximum
stability. you can configure the tuning to cover the entire band or to

cover
just a portion of the band for more bandspread tuning. Delivers plenty of
volume for head phone operation and will even drive a small speaker. uses
9-volt battery (not included). The kit measures 1¾ x 4¾ x 5 inches.

Skill Level: Moderate Requires some test gear -- usually a basic

multimeter
for some final adjustment or tuning.

I will send to you for $20 (includes shipping). Not built.
