anything about the K2.

Well - the K2 is an American produced radio that is exactly what you are
proposing. It is a QRP radio that is very small and compact that can be
constructed in stages then tested and used. You then add to it as you go
along - this teaching yourself construction and study the design idea.

You seem to have missed the point somewhat, if your
thoughts go straight to what you can buy off the shelf.

Yes - but this is a kit not obtainable off the shelf.

I don't follow URL's from Usenet - it is a bad debating style
to send your correspondents off to do reading. if you have
something of value to say, then please say it yourself.

But - search do search for the Elekraft K2 - you'll be pleased, I hope,
that is teaches everything you stand for - self training, construction
and the development of _REAL_ skills.

David.
