Default SMT 40m + 20m qrp

Mike:

There have been a few very interesting SMT transceiver kits with
limited production runs, including KD1JV's ATS series. Nothing much
about them on his website now.

http://kd1jv.qrpradio.com/

There's quite a bit of info on the ATS-3 at
http://www.ae5x.com/ats3.html .

Another recent one is the NorCal 2030 (supposed to have a pretty good
RX), see

http://www.norcalqrp.org/nc2030.htm

These limited edition kits area usually announced on the QRP-L email
reflector.

The MFJ "QRP-Cub" transceivers are partially SMT and have 2 W output.
But the kit version has all the SMT parts already mounted so you miss
out on the kitchen fun !
