Review on πŸ“» CW Shortwave Radio Transmitter Receiver Kit - HAM Transceiver Forty-9er, 3W Morse Telegraph DIY Radio by Amanda Young

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Questionable Components and Design

I've literally spent thousands of hours soldering and assembling electronic components. This CW transceiver kit is not transmitting properly. To assemble this kit you will need to find copies of the schematics elsewhere on the internet. Some components differ from those shown in the diagrams. Some components are simply not included in the kit. However, the design of the board is not bad at all. I assembled the kit and spent several hours reverse engineering. I still can't figure out why the kit isn't transmitting the sidetone from the RF amp block. I would recommend finding a more professional and functional kit from QRP Labs.
