Does anyone have any experience with any small inexpensive receiver/transmitter/transceiver kits.
An example is the rockmite
http://smallwonderlabs.com/Rockmite.htm A simple HF CW transceiver, kit is under $30
I know these kits are extremely limited, and likely need some additional parts (speaker, key, ...) but this seems like it might be a fun (and enlightening) project, I mean come on a 40M radio that fits in an Altoids tin and you build yourself.
So just looking for experiences any which way with this or any of the other extremely cheap kits out there, money is at a premium at the moment (just found out yesterday that child number 4 is on the way) so I would hate to buy a kit and then hear that a different one would have been better.
Thanks,
Bryan
