Build your own intelligent amateur radeo
 

Hello everyone. I recently purchased the book "Build Your Own Intelligent
Amateur Radio Transceiver" and was wondering if anyone knows of a site
that has an errata. I've done some looking on google groups but all the
sites are no longer around.

I don't want to start any flame wars but I just have to ask if any one has
any suggestions on building this rig. I don't have a ham license yet but
thats not the point of building this thing. I just want to jump into the
deep end a bit. I've done all kinds of kits both big and small and just
want to do everything from scratch and learn something in the process.

Thanks

Stephen

Have you checked the publisher's website? They often have errata or they
will send it to you if you request it.

The only problem I would have with doing it is what you have hinted at:
you do not have any evidence that the thing works! So definetely I would
find out first as you are attempting to, if the thing has ever been
constructed and does it work properly. Secondly, unless you have a very
good box of parts getting all the bits and pieces could nickle and dime
you to death. That is one advantage of going out and buying a Elecraft K2
kit instead!

Presumably if the transceiver is considered to be intelligent then
the intended owner must be an M3/CB Fools' Licensee?

I have that book too. Great read, very inspiring! I'd love to build it, or
something similar - but have insufficient time right now and too many other
projects lined up. I can't offer any specific advice but I would say this
would be quite an ambitious project and you'd need to be quite committed in
order to complete it successfully.

Another great book is "Crystal Sets to Sideband - a Guide to Building an
Amateur Radio Station" by Frank Harris K0IYE. This free eBook is available
for download on my website at
http://www.hanssummers.com/radio/k0iye/index.htm . Frank covers all the
theory and simple circuits, building up to more complex rigs. A great
resource for the homebrewer.

Thanks for the info. I expecting the project will take me a year to
build. But thats okay. I still need to get my license.

Okay enough on my ability to type and spell. I'm only a programmer not an
English major.

Stephen

That must make for some interesting debugging exercises?
