Thought to try one of the cheapie Pixie 40m rigs for china.

One ebay site offered 10 for 20 quid.

So, in for a penny, in for a pound ..

They arrived today after 3 weeks

But ... no instructions, particularly as to which capacitor
is which.

Anybody got the instructions for these?

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 .......

Where do you put the crib sheet?
