Qrp radio transceivers & kits HF CW/SSB SDR
This is meant to be the new page type for qrptransceiver.com. It is adapted also for mobile use and it has taken quite a long time to develop. Info will be added gradually and eventually the first index page will also be as this one.
Qrp radio means that it is possible to use equipment that you have built yourself, either by your own construction, after a kit, or both. It offers great opportunities to learn different types of electronics in different applications such as for radio frequency, low frequency, audio and signal processing. All this relates to many other different sciences in other fields of physics and even biology. The hearing is an example of where there is an advanced signal processing within the auditory system of the ears and the brain. Knowledge there can be used in the design of analog or digital sound processing. There are certainly many other areas of electronics or other scientific areas where you can learn a lot. But we who have once become interested in radio do not get rid of the interest so easily!
If you find the information on this page useful, feel free to share it. Thank you !
I have not included the simplest kits with a fixed frequency. The transceivers and transceiver kits below should be in production. I have not included chinese counterfeit goods when it may be so. Such garbage should definitely be avoided. As an exampe, look at this chinese counterfeit company page. There are clones of a clone of the M0NKA mcHF transceiver. The sdr transceivers on that page have been featured on many sites and even at eham.net reviews. However, on the latter page there is also a pirate copy of Juma Radio's PA100 100 Watt HF linear amplifier. Share this information about these counterfeit ham radio equipment to other radio amateurs as not everyone knows about it.
SDR transceivers and SDR transceiver kits will be shown in a table below. Also, there are some pages with a lot of german qrp kits,
here, here and
here.
I found pages for four kits with manual links,
Blue cool radio - Eham.net reviews (poor overall rating).
Sparrow
Mosquita - Eham.net reviews
Tramp 8 - Eham.net reviews
On those pages there are kits by Small Wonder Labs which retired several yeas ago and also K1 and KX1 kits by Elecraft, also retired. Unless they have a lot of kits which I doubt. Maybe I send an email to ask them if these kits are available- If they are, I ask for more information.
