That PTO is actually exactly what I would want to build, however, ordering
the kit is pretty much against the point.

Does anyone by chance have the schematic for the PTO/VFO by WA6OTP?

Look he http://www.amqrp.org/kits/tin_ear/

The vfo in this simple receiver uses the same type of PTO construction. And
the manual includes a schematic.

Why is ordering the kit against the point?

It's a manhattan style construction product. All you get is a baggie of
parts, the schematic, and some PCBoard material to work with. A fun and
challenging build no matter how you look at it.

I was curious if anyone has had any experience w/ homebrewing the
PTO/VFO
from



http://www.qrpp-i.com/projects/ka8ma...-schematic.gif
.

I am pretty new to homebrewing, and was wondering if anyone knew of
any
problems w/ this design that I may watch for. I have read that VFO's
can
be
very tricky, but this one looks incredibly simple. I'm just looking
for
anyway to get out from under the rock that I'm bound to.

Thanks for any input...

Point taken.

But my goal at this point is to build w/ salvaged parts from my mound of
junk...

But thanks for all the input. It is much appreciated.

I prefer building stuff out of my junk pile. I do get a greater feeling of
satisfaction when I can dive into the pile on hand and build something that
works.

It's more fun that way!

Agreed!

Paul,
That tin ear is perfect... That is exactly the PTO I was looking for. I'll
give that one a shot.

Thanks for everyone...

I grabbed the Tin Ear docs too...I think I will try to build this little
receiver from my parts pile.

I need another receiver like I need a hole in the head but what the
heck...looks fun.
