and just where do you intend to buy all those components from
after youve searched and found that there are only a few places and the
all charge the earch for a resistor or a transistor the cost of building a
Tranciver is prohibitive
its far cheaper to modifie existing stuff to the bands you want to use ie
11mt to 10mt to 6 mt
just my opinion
but then again in true amateur status i never buy anything i just loan it
from work or rescue it carefully from the skip where it was carefully
placed
sonow you know where all those LED's came from
