The Pixie Transceiver

After receiving my Technician Ham Radio License in 2012, I only used a Boafeng UV-3R VHF/UHF handheld transceiver. While listening and chatting on the local receivers was somewhat fun, I was looking for more technical challenges. The Technician License allows CW operation on the 80M, 40M, 15M, 6M, and 2M bands. Thus, I needed a CW transceiver. A quick search on eBay resulted in a Chinese Transceiver Kit that operates on the 40M band for less than $5.00. This seemed to be such a bargain that I ordered three of the kits.
