<----This is a picture of my
"Kit Shelf" with most of my QRP kit's on the shelves.
<------This is a picture of My
main Radio's and Hamshack Computer,included are IC-2720,IC-718,IC-746,various tuners,speakers and Power supplies.
This picture shows one of my
completed kits, an Elecraft K1 QRP CW Rig with a AT-1 Auto Tuner to the right, output power about 7 watts, I have modified the rig
with a 4 band Filter Boards and an internal Autotuner and internal battery enclosure.
for it.The Board has 40m/30m/20m/15m.It also includes a Noise Blanker feature The small Straight key alongside is also a kit from
www.americanmorse.com.->
<----This is a picture
of a Digital Dial/Frequency Counter Kit. Sold by www.qrpkits.com and built in an Altoids Tin.It is sensitive enough
to pick up signals by wrapping the 'Input" lead around the coax of the unit you are checking. It reads both Mhz and Khz
via mode select and has other uses available.
This is a picture showing
one of my acquisitions a NUE-PSK Digital Modem,(one the left) with BLT,(balanced line tuner,with mode to accept
COAX, center, front)and on the right a FT-817 QRP HF rig. the combo is doing PSK31.-----------------------------------

This is a picture I took
of one of the latest kits I've built. A PFR3 (Portable Field Radio) qrp 20m,30m,40m,from www.qrpkits.com with attached
Paddle kit also built by me.Note that paddle is alligned so as to be ready for Left Handed use.Notice on the front of the
Unit a push button and LED.These are part of a BSI Kit,(Battery Status Indicator)That I installed in the Unit.Pushing on
the button gives you an indcation of battery status by the color of the LED.

This is a picture of
the last kit I built as of NOV 18th 08. It is a SWR/Power Meter Kit by www.norcalqrp.org. It was a nice easy build
and only took several hours to build. there was no firmware programming involved as the PIC came with everything
programed. The only thing extra needed was a 9v. Battery.---------------------------------------------------------------------->
<----------Another kit finished lastnight
Jan 8,2009. It is a DC40B 40m QRP rig sold by www.qrpkits.com took an evening to build and only needed DMM and Power
meter. tested out at about 1.3 Watts, has built in keyer,and comes with aluminum case and decals.
Picture of a HF Test Kit
by www.4sqrp.com, I put it in a school Box,dual sided. One side contains the unit and manual, the other side has jumpers,extra
batteries,etc.Kit contains RF Probe,Dummyload,Frequency Counter,Crystal Oscillator,Audio Oscillator,Wideband noise generator
and a Time Domain Reflectometer.---------------->
<---------BSI Kit,(Battery Status Indicator)
Kitted by www.qrpkits.com. Mounted in a Project Box. Push Button and LED on top,pushing button shows battery status on LED by color,(Green,Yellow
Red) Will be used in the field to indicate battery condition of SLA batteries,(12v 2Ah) for use with QRP Rigs.
This is a picture of my latest acquisition
an Elecraft KX1 mini portable QRP rig currently setup for 40m,30m,20m. I will mod it for 20m,30m,40m,80. Paddles are configured for
left handed use.------------------------->
First kit in APR09 It is called a "Hamfest Buddy"
Output is about 60mW, this rig is on 40m,and is built in s "TicTac" Box. The round red knob below it is a CW key built from a 70/300 Balun with a push button
momentary on switch. Connected to it is an earphone for REC and in the upper right of the picture is a random wire antenna. Radio is meant to be used
at Hamfests,in the room to talk to other Hams in the Hotel.Info can be obtained at: www.k4twj.blogspot.com as to purchase,and how to make the key.
I am constructing a HFPacker Amp by HFProjects.com
I am in the process of Calibrating it, and adjusting the BIAS. Unit is showed upside down to show the insides of it,you will note the Heatsink
is on the Bottom in picture.Spec's are <2.5W input,35W output.10m-160m use.The HF Packer Amp is finished and ready for use.---------->
This is a Scout Regen Kit, a Regenerative HF receiver
that is an easy build by www.qrpkits.com.<-----------------
This is a Tracer/Injector Kit made by www.qrpkits.com and
is designed to enable a person to inject a signal into a receiver circuit to test seperate stages as to their completion. It is also used as an Injector
to Trace a 1kHz tone through a circuit to test completion. --------------------------------------------------->
This is two pictures of my latest kit
a BLT Plus (Balanced Line Tuner Plus) From www.qrpkits.com website<----------------->
