Well I bow to your superior skills.

Well, passing the 12WPM Morse test shows that I do have the right moral
fibre
of true dedication to the pursuit of amateur radio, unlike those who whinged
about it for 30+ years and then went for a test and a licence targetted at
5-year-olds.


But, enough; rise off your knees!

But it does raise one question, and that is, who is fooling who
about its purchase price of ooo £450, for there cannot be more
than about £40
in its component costs?

DDS modules, £8 ea

SA612 £2 ea

PIC processor, anything from £2 to £20 ea.

Double-sided PCB for ugly-bug construction, £5

If you did iit like that the circuit would be about a foot (ancient
American unit) across and wouldn't work.

Sorry, Grandpa, but the numbers above do not refer to valves (tubes
to the Yanks)
such as the 807, or, in your own case, bearing in mind your
50-year-old second class Class B licence, such as the QQV03-20A or
4CX250B.


Ugly bug construction requires only a little more space than the
devices themselves.


I'd never really understood the depths of your idiocy before - thanks
for the clarification, Gareth!

happy new year!

Not when the majority of devices are SMD.
