A friend saw my K2 and all its associated bits the other day and asked me if I would build him a GC receiver. That started me looking around for other quality kits and it seems there aren't a lot of 'em about, with Elecraft having cornered the lion's share of the market.
I was also on the lookout for projects using SMD devices, but they are pretty scarce, too. The bottom line is, I haven't found much by way of quality complex projects out there, especially for a receiver, so any help/pointers to likely sources would be greatly appreciated. Elecraft GC receiver kit preferred, of course HI! 73 all.

Although a general purpose panadapter, about 95% of my customers use it with a K2. The Z90 is a mix of surface mount and through-hole parts. As far as the quality of the kit goes, so far the comments I have received have all been positive. It's about an 8-10 hour assembly project. Another related kit is N8LP's LP100 digital wattmeter, which you can see at www.telepostinc.com.

There was a DDS GC receiver in Elektor Electronics last month. A kit is
available but not all parts available.. The price is comparable to a K2... I don't know anything about the quality of the design. I don't remember what followed the DDS but I saw it uses the 612 mixers. Kit (not from Elektor): http://tinyurl.com/385su6 Magazine: http://tinyurl.com/yoyu5j The article costs to download but the picture is free to look at.

If you go to the root page of the above http://www.w0ch.net/ it also shows you information about other radios. Many of the individual radio pages have links also. Enjoy.
