Description: I construct these when ordered, so please allow 20 days for shipment, once purchased. Other cabinet colors are available. Please inquire. The well known Pixie kit package is used to build these, housed in a cathedral style 3D print cabinet, about 6 inches tall. Power requirements are two 9 volt rechargeable batteries (not included). This item comes with headphone, similar to the ones pictured. The limitations with the Pixie has always been the fact that they are prone to local AM interference. I have a 50KW station about 10 miles away that makes the Pixie completely unusable, as sold. So what I've done here is add a tunable BCI trap at the front end, along with other modifications that eliminate the BCI to a tolerable level. In many instances, with careful tuning, it is virtually non-existent. I've also provided a means of changing the component values to allow for multi-band coverage, by use of front panel plug-in modules. With this design, the 2 khz variable frequency pot is on the front panel, along with a power on/off switch. In addition, I've also made the RF out Pi-network tank circuit tunable, with two front panel controls. RF power output is about 500 milliwatts on 40 meters. On 80 meters I get around 1.4 watts out, and about 230 mw's on 30 meters, when that module is purchased and used. The price is for 80/40 meter operation, with one plug-in crystal/inductor module for each band. Frequencies available are 3530, 3535, 3550, 3560, 3576, 3580, 3582, 7023, 7030, 7035, 7040, 7045, 7048, 7050, 7055, 7060, 7070, 7110 and 7118. Please let me know what you'd prefer, when ordering, otherwise I'll choose frequencies at random from those stated. If you'd like 2 pods for one band only, just let me know the desired frequencies. Additional 30, 80, and 40 meter plug-in pods are available on another listing. Several QRP frequencies are available for those bands. A hand-sketched schematic will be included with this item. You may purchase a schematic only, showing all parts values, on another listing. I guarantee this radio will work if hooked up properly, to a respectable antenna system. **************SHIPPING TO US ZIP CODES ONLY***************
