Thanks for the many replies; mic is sold.
To the M who can't find the parts locations: I have
the same problem. But, it gets logarithmically easier
as you populate the board! Once a location is
"filled" your eyes/brain don't have to 'scan' there
any more, and so finding the missing places gets MUCH
easier as you go along. Not unlike a jigsaw puzzle.
To the K who likes the SWL PSKxx rigs but laments
their being rockbound and sans tuner: someone else
already commented you don't need a VFO, by design, and
I'll add ... because they are monoband units, field
operations with these rigs are ENHANCED because you
can BRING a pre-built monoband antenna with you. I
think it'd be daft for Aptos to cook up a rig that
competes with something already mightily well done,
and the new versions from K1SWL require no serial
port. For the PSK20, I suggest a sloper made of a
folded dipole. You can make one from some 300 ohm
twinlead. Use a piece for a phasing line, and with
just one small capacitor, you can get it to a 50 ohm
point VERY easily. Quick to roll up, a snap to
deploy, only 1 vertical support needed, cheap, always
works like a champ.
