When Radio Shack closed the Tech America outlet here in Atlanta I bought
4 Vectronic Kits...
20 & 30 meter recvr & xmtr pairs. Are either of these worth the time
to assemble them ?
The receivers are NE612 DC types. Would appreciate all comments....

Thanks

Almost any kit is worth the time. :-)
These are not bad little rigs, but I would find a kid or two and get them to
help you build them. When you are finished, tell them they can have them
when they get their ticket.
This might spur a new kid into the hobby.

Just a thought.
