A small update on the MKARS80 tranciever. The box is finished and now it just the final alignment left.

Here is a small clip of me running the smoke test of the MKARS80.  After this test i connected the display and processor and it worked fine to. Next up i think is the hardest part, to drill holes in the box, and hopefully make it look good to. There is also some final adjustments [...]

All toroids and all capacitors is in place. Now it´s time for semiconductors and crystals.

Not much new this time, but at least 4 toroids are mounted at the board. I don´t like the #38 SWG copper wire, it’s like winding hair

The latest update for the MKARS80 tranciever. I have now soldered almost all capacitors, and the next stage in the building is to wind the coils, about ten of them. Just one resistor wast misplaced. I had placed the 56Ohm resistor that should be in the R1 position in position R56. It was no problem [...]

A while ago i ordered a 80m SSB transceiver kit called MKARS80 from www.radio-kits.co.uk and now i have started the building of it. The kit is really nice packed with a easy to read manual. I’m posting pictures and info here about the continuous work. Today i have unpacked and soldered some resistors.
