TIA what do you need instructions for?..one socket is for the key and one for headphones.....the plastic JUMPER thingy you pull out of the top on later models gives you the choice of built in sidetone buzzer or none ...but then again if you have passed all three exams you SHOULD know what sidetone is but some don't ...the battery is not polarity conscious on the later designs like mine..use a pp3 9v..the wee fiddly trimmer thing tunes the receiver away from the 7.023 Mc/s xtal Fx RIT ......all part of Continuing Amateur Development ...not for the professional radio ham as they talk a lot and buy thousands of pounds worth of jap gear for their shack....some even have photographs of themselves at the key.....I have mentioned the pixie twice in the past but all people want to do on her is have bounce ups....you connect your 40m twig to the BNC socket...the thingy with the two sticky out pin thigs on the side of the tube ....... |

I have a cunning plan for if we must be hamstringed by the Fools' licence scheme then by starting them off with these as a construction project and getting their Morse interest going for something they themselves made, then we can counteract the CBisation brought in by the reayish 3-tier fiasco and set the seed corn for them to be _REAL_ radio amateurs with enthusiasm for CW QSOs. |
