I am seriously considering getting one of these kits. I am taking my technician test soon then study for general. I was interested in my teens now 60's and finally going to do it.

I bought mine from Gigaparts also. I upgraded mine with the Nextion display and the additional arduino nano along with the upgraded firmware to allow it extra capability like decoding CW and WSPR transmission. I have about $255 tied up in mine. It's a great radio.

I love this little rig. One of my best ham experiences so far.

[MRGRF]

Lovely bit of kit! I'm poor, but I want a transmitter. So here I am learning to make one. Not the video I was looking for, but I may actually get myself one of these because the price is fantastic!

[KJNES-FL-HAM]

I am a new ham, received my technician on 06/21/2024. I have since upgraded to extra. I am definitely not an Elmer, I am more like an Elmo :/

Anyway, I just got back from Huntsville Hamfest. I had a great time and met some amazing people. Having watched this video before Hamfest, I purchased this kit while I was there and hope to put it together within the next few days.

I appreciate your approach here, keep it up :)

Hopefully, I won't let the magic smoke out and I will be able to reach out from NE Florida soon for a QSO.

I just purchased one of these as well. Couldn't get Gigaparts to take my money (I think they were having issues with their website) so I ordered one direct from India. Much to my pleasant surprise it was on my doorstep (in Pennsylvania) in less than 10 days! Please make more videos as you do different mods to it, I have a couple I'm looking into doing myself. Thanks and 73 de KM3P

That is awesome I'm am brand new to ham I'm currently studying for a tech license and this is the kind of stuff I'd like to learn I very surprised how affordable it is awesome vidio thanks keep up the great videos

[WTRI_Ronny]

Forgot they might still be around. I never had a good experience with mine. Glad they are doing better.

Since my soldering skills suck, I might be able to do this. Thanks for the video!

Walt, my friend John, n6vcw, got one of these for his birthday and I came looking for a video on them. Bam! Yours popped up first. Being a haughty "solder-only" kit builder and would ONLY soil my hands with a kit that required actually soldering soldering stuff, my first inclination was to "poo-poo" it. But your video piqued my curiosity. For the money and the coverage and other features you demonstrated/described, this looks intriguing.

AND you can mod it? I'm in!

Basically, I respect the recommendation of a guy whose idea of hamming is taking a small rig and decent antenna down to the beach, throwing a radial in the surf and working DX. (Stll in love with your Hawaii QSO video.)

Thank you for the recommendation; please keep us informed re the mods and your experiences!

This is my POTA hunting rig, great little kit to build.

I bought one of these kits last summer, thought I'd make a Christmas project of it, it's still in the box, I'll get to it some time, great video Adam G7CRQ

I love the idea of an HF kit radio that is easy to build and is open to modification. I've been watching this kit radio for a while but haven't gotten one because I've been waiting for someone I trust to build it and put it through it's paces. I trust you, so know I'm going to get one. The fact that I can get this at Gigaparts makes it even better (I have nothing against ordering from India except I get impatient when waiting for a new radio. Thanks Walk...73...KN6KNB

I got one a couple years ago good little qrp rig. they work good but have one quirk it must be tuned with the vfo very slowly.

[Isochest]

No Soldering. It's almost Plug and Play. I built mine on Tuesday and put it on the air yesterday. Made 5 QSOs on 7160khz SSB on the Worked All Britain Net 3 English Hams one Welsh Ham and one Scottish Ham. Just need some stereo plugs to get on CW. 73 G0IMB Manchester UK

I've been looking all over for a source for this kit. I'm in the UK but I've not found any place that has them.

[Matt-qqdh]

Walt, great video. I was wondering if there was a simple HF kit to build and you answered that question. Thank you for that information. Did you find out what was wrong with why the radio was sounding narrow? This is just my troubleshooting curiosity. I was an electronics tech. for over 30 years. Thank you again.

[younggullkim]

sound seem to be poor with distortion, Did you try large speaker?

[jamesgeorge]

I can't find or bring up the alignment aid
