Would it be possible to shrink an entire CW transceiver (complete with keyer, antenna, and power supply) into something that would fit into something pocket-sized, like an Altoids tin? I have had some ideas, like make it able u open and unfold, with the keyer on the inside of the lid and an antenna that folds out when it's open and things like that. But overall, is it possible to fit all of that into something the size of an Altoids tin? And if so, on a scale of 1 to 10 (1 being easiest) how hard would it be? Would it be overly difficult for someone completely new to homebrewing? |

Dave Benson of Small Wonder Labs produced a kit for exactly that--it will even run off a 9V battery that also fits into the Altoids tin. http://www.w0ch.net/rock-mite/rock-mite.htm Dave has retired, but kits are still available from another source. http://www.qrpme.com/ Zack Lau W1VT ARRL Senior Lab Engineer |

Thank you! I asked on some other forums and they said it was practically impossible! 73s! |
