Tuthill 15: This is our new transceiver designed by Dan Tayloe, N7VE. We are in the final stages of prototyping, but everything looks great. Hendricks QRP Kits commisioned Dan to design the Tuthill 80 transceiver for the Arizona Scqrpions QRP group as a fund raiser for the annual Ft. Tuthill QRP Forum. It is a huge success and several hundred kits have been sold and built. The first thing that the guys asked for was the kit on other bands. Dan has done that, and we are starting with the Tuthill 15, which should be a hot seller because 15 meters is starting to get active and will continue to improve. The Tuthill 15, unlike the club kit, will be a complete kit with board, through hole parts, and a custom designed case that has a cutout for a KD1JV frequency counter that can be added at any time. The kit will ship with the red plastic to cover the cutout if you choose not to add the frequency counter. The target price for the kit and case is $75 - $100. Dan has had to use a different mixing scheme to get the rig on the other bands than he used on the Tuthill 80. The board for the Hendricks kits will also be a different size than the TutHill 80. We plan on having models available from 10 - 160M soon, but not before Dayton. The Arizona Scqrpions will continue to have exclusive rights to sell the Ft. Tuthill 80. NADC-40: Steve Weber has done it again. He has designed a Nearly All Discrete Component Transceiver for 40 meters. This little rig will be a delight to build and will be a great performer when you are finished. Again, it will come complete with a custom case designed by Ken Locasale, and will have a cutout option for the KD1JV Frequency Display. The kit will be shipped with the red plastic to cover the cutout so you may add the frequency counter at anytime. Steve is working on the final prototype, and we should have kits available at Dayton. And just as soon as we can we will have a 20 and 30 meter version. The target price is again at $75 to $100. Both of the above transceiver kits will have vfo tuning with about 50 kHz of adjustable tuning range!! And finally, the best information yet!! Steve Weber will be at Dayton this year. Steve will be making an appearance on Friday and Saturday at the Hendricks QRP booth. We encourage all of the qrpers to stop by and say hello to Steve and if you haven't met this famous qrper before, don't pass this opportunity up. He is a delight to talk with, and one of the nicest guys in qrp. You Are Visitor No. |
