10-30-2023 Reinventing the 20M Shirt Pocket SSB Transceiver. Update 11-01-2023. See the Prior post for 6BA6 info.
The parts arrived for the 6BA6 Rig and I will get back to that jewel. See the prior post on the parts that arrived for the 6BA6 Rig. While I was waiting for that slow boat from China to deliver some parts for the 6BA6 rig, I reworked the 20M SSB Shirt Pocket Transceiver. The Shirt Pocket rework was an engineering challenge as you had a built assembly and therefore everything around that had to be fitted into its envelope. This video shows the detail of the parts I had to fabricate. Reinvented 20M Shirt Pocket SSB Rig The Case with a trial fit. WYKSYCDS ( But not everyone can do what I do!) I could not have undertaken this effort without having both CNC and manual milling machines. While it is true that not every ham has that kind of capability in their shop/shack, that does not mean other creative approaches can be invoked. Friend N2CQR uses wooden boxes from Michael's and then lines the insides with copper tape. This results in an excellent RF shielded enclosure.
