    Of course I drank that beer. Wasting beer here in bavaria leads to deserved draconic punishments !

    Thank you. This answered a question I had. I am in the process of building a version 1.01 board and will complete it. I was going to buy one these Chinese ones to do this exact comparison. You saved me some money.

    Excellent video. And excellent design of yours. Been waiting for a radio exact like yours for years for survival purposes. bought the chinese smaller black version with controls on the end before I found your channel. Now I want to change out that FET and anything else that isn't spec, like the caps they got wrong. I would have gotten the sandwich but I don't have enough time to build it

    Great video! Will wait for your own rig to become available through your site. Give yourself and your loved ones around you a worthy price-point deserving of your hard and sleepless efforts! Honestly, anyone who has ever worked on the bench for hundreds/thousands of hours know you should be justly rewarded! 73 WA4ITD

    Thank you for your review. I was trying to figure out the shipping/customs/etc fees from the vendor. Now, I don't need to continue. And, a pocket heater might be helpful during the winter.

    Thanks for the detailed explanation and the attention to detail!

    Well that just shows the difference between taking a look at the schematics and sending a BOM to a factory and saying make me 10k of these and then there is you Manuel who looks at the schematics and immediately spots the mistake .... and knows without even testing that it will not be effiecent... I also think you are maybe being a little hard on yourself, as by now amny people in the hobby know that the chinese gear is not up to scratch compared with say the big three, or in this case a guy looking to make a small, cheap, effiecent, in spec transciever, but fair play to you for going down the route and good on David for helping you to explain .... top draw video... thank you... Yoki..

  • Sandwich efficiency is 87.6% not 86%. You divided by 3.98 versus 3.948.great little kit!

    Great video. Very informative. Looks like this radio will not be on my Christmas shopping list. Thanks for posting it. Barry, KU3X/QRP
  • @salat
    The other clone type (in extruded aluminum case, no battery) asserts that bs170s were used. Anyone measured one of those yet?
