I have a kit that Mike bought that I started assembling today.
The PigRig is a single channel 40 meter device for club use. The frequency is 7.0307 MHz. 5W output, and CW.
This shows how far I've gotten on the board assemble so far:
My eyes are that good anymore, so I have to use a magnifier. Also a good pair of tweezers helps a lot. I sorted the groups of parts into a plastic parts box I got from Harbor Freight.
The instructions appear to be pretty nice. I've been putting in resistors all morning. I soldered one resistor in the wrong place and had a hard time getting that problem fixed. I wish I could find the Gerber file for the board so I could look up the location of the each component before installing. As it is, it's a crowded board with many components and it takes a few minutes to find the location of each component to install it.
