I have just completed a new SSB transceiver that is very easy to build
and fun to use.
It is specially designed for beginners.
Check it out at http://farhan.net.co.nr/bitx.html .

Highlights a
1. Very few coils to be wound.
2. Just 16 common 2N222 varity transistors used everywhere except for
the the IRF510 in the PA.
3. Works without a slow motion drive! Uses two knob tuning for coarse
and fine tuning.
4. Uses fewer different values of resistors and capacitors.
5. Stable design.

73s.
