I would be interested in SMT kits from Elecraft.
AmQRP.org is looking at offering upgrade boards for
the micro908 two ways. One will have the fine pitch
devices installed, all the kit builder would need to
solder would be caps, resistors connectors, etc. The
other option would be a full kit, more of a challenge,
but still workable for many. Probably wouldn't be much
fun if you're vision challenged or have the shakes or
have inquisitive pets ;o)
I would suggest that the kits are not as frightening
as one might think. The micro908 is a complicated
piece of equipment, but after the first couple
components I found that SM construction was fun.
There are plenty of free obsolete computer boards
available to practice your soldering technique on
before diving into a kit.
Cheers,
Julius
