The PA0KLT from www.sdr-kits.net looks intriguing, and might
settle all arguments in favour of Vackar-Seiler or Franklin for some
years to come?

As does the Minisynth from cumbriadesigns.co.uk

Also, sdr-kits has a 40m SSB transceiver kit for under £150, so there is
no need whatsoever for the tyro to rush and pay out his shekels
for a YaeTriIcom CB (Cheque Book) rig at £800+ (although many will in a
desperate
effort to prove that they are real radio amateurs without realising that
they are proving themselves to be the exact opposite)

Amazing Gareth..you dangle the hook and all the stupid minnows go into
a feeding frenzy.

No bait at all; what I'm trying to do is to encourage the technical
tradition;
a tradition that seems to be lost on recent licensees to the extent that one
questions
whether they are real radio amateurs.

But you don't finish anything, even if you do indeed blow the dust of that
top shelf. You go and buy some parts at a local rally, then feel as if you
are raping the wife of the person who had the kit before you. Never finish
but lots of excuses all the way.

He finished his morse key - the contacts are faulty, but he... Oh,
wait... can a thing that doesn't work as intended be considered
"finished"?

Gareth, every time you try raise a technical discussion either

1) a gang of ignorant minnows (fish brains) hurl abuse.
2) a person in the North Kent area spends the night on google trying
to find info to shoot you down
3) another North Kent resident with no technical ability what so ever
feels threatened and resorts to try to prove his superiority by
hurling pointless abuse, but usually ends up as a laughing stock.
4) Some one does respond with a technical and usefull answer but is
buried or discouraged by the QRM caused by 1) 2) and 3).

Oddly, I had noticed :-)

But for the good of amateur radio it's best to ignore them like water
off a duck's back, but otherwise to chastise them for making fools of
themselves
and bringing amateur radio into disrepute.

Nobody should ne discouraged from fomenting technical discussion because
of the bad behaviour that you have identified.

I had to laugh when the little one followed the big one into
alt.os.linux.ubuntu and made one silly post aimed at me. I think the
little one must be on a lead!
