QRP Pixie
One of the simplest and easiest to make QRP transceivers - I've had a lot of fun with mine and recently made my first contacts.
I was really helped with this by getting the settings right for the receive frequency and testing the power.
Here's how I tuned up my QRP Pixie:
00:00 Introduction
01:57 Testing the Receive Frequency Offset
05:01 Testing the Transmit Frequency
06:09 Testing the Transmit Power
06:58 Power Calculation
08:36 Ready for QSO !

Thank-you. I enjoy my Pixie converted to 20 meters. I have worked 35 States with my dipole.

[@neilbchilton]

Thanks for the interesting video. I found your channel because of your very good QRP labs and FT817 content. Those are the radios I also use. I've been out of the hobby for decades but digital modes got me interested again. I'd not heard of that transceiver before. It's amazing how they can be so very cheap. Some are less than a fiver! Thanks again

Glad you like the videos, Neil, thanks - 73 from Mort/G4BSK

Выходной транзистор наверное лучше на s8050 сделать.

How about trying a BFY51 or BD139? G7VFY

[@Q26Video]

I've tried a few different transistors - I expect I'll get to those in due course - thanks for the suggestion, 73 from Mort/G4BSK
