    Get your microscope and hot-air soldering gear in order first--lots of SMD parts involved.

    What are they getting for the kit, BTW? I didn't see a price listed anywhere.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    The SMT is already done, sadly :(
    I do wonder how my patience would fare doing all the SMT by hand though...

    Did a double take on one of the pix -- at a quick glance the filters (I think that's what they are) looked like Nixie tubes! THAT was a WTF?

    Price: There's this one on eBAy. $335 fully assembled.

    I think there was an article on Eham or somewhere a couple of years ago about this rig. The thing was available as a kit, on Ebay then too I think, but the assembly instructions weren't done yet or were in Chinese waiting for translation. There were some issues but I think the guy that designed it, was looking to see if there would be any interest. It's a very cool concept, and if it works it would be neat to have one to play around with.

    Well it looks good, there's a 6 pole crystal filter on there, so it looks like extra effort has gone into making it a nice radio.
