Default Homemade 2m FM transceiver?

Do anyone of you know such project, worth or recommending?



Haven't seen any around for years.

Once upon a time -- back in the early 1970's -- I built two 2-mtr FM
transceivers.

One was built from a kit sold by VHF Engineering, Rochester, NY. The
receiver consisted of four small rectangular PC boards that could be
assembled side-by-saide, one on top of the other, etc. Transmitter
was a small rectangular PC board that ran about 2 watts output. As I
recall, they also sold an amp with about 10 watts output. Crystal
controlled.

The other was built from a circuit in QST. Several suppliers sold
circuit boards and you had to dig around to find the parts. It was on
a single PC board -- may have been about 4 in X 8 in. Crystal
controlled.

But -- that was back in the days when men were men
