Radio
I am an amateur radio operator (KG4GJY). I have a few radios that are
homebuilt.
Tiny Tornado
The first radio that wowed me growing up was a Tuna Tin radio. The entire
transceiver was inside a large tuna tin. It had a place to connect an
antenna, headphones, power and a telegraph key. The Tiny Tornado fills
that spot for me. Tim built this for me.
Elecraft K1
This is the first kit that I put together. It is a big improvement over
the Tiny Tornado.
Byonics Pocket Tracker
While on vacation in Florida I put together a Pocket Tracker. It uses a
GPS to transmit the location of the tracker to the APRS network. An
interesting thing to play with while out of town.
SoftRock v5.0
The SoftRock v5.0 is a Software Defined Radio. This was my first project
that had surface mount parts that I had to install. The housing is wired
like the Tiny Tornado.
