The third LIVE stream Buildathon will be a receiver kit that matches up with the Tuna Tin 2 transmitter that we built in the 1st Buildathon.The Cento Receivo kit is in keeping with the old time food can legacy kits. Instead of the Herring Aid 5 in a large rather boring herring snack tin, I chose the much more interesting Cento Anchovy tin. It is much smaller and much more colorful! I will be supplying the tin with the kit but YOU will have to homework assignment of disposing of the anchovies and cleaning the tin.
The Cento Receivo receiver is a simplified version of QRPme*s Sudden Storm receiver kit. The simplification is in the elimination of the band module and operation set for 40m. Another feature is it can be built without a soldering iron. Just form and cut the leads as required by the board and push them into the socket pins. You will need to solder up an adapter cable for your headphones. Although you CAN install the battery, antenna and phone leads directly into the pin sockets, for easy messing about, I BUILT some mini connectors using push extra socket pins to make plugging and unplugging the external devices easy peasy while debugging my prototype.
If you really want to solder, I can provide the kit as a solder the parts version....
Prototype boards arrived on time (for once) and it was checked, debugged, errors corrected and production quantities ordered 4/19 at 11:00PM! I will schedule the Buildathon sometime around mid May before Stephen and I head off to FDIM.
Full documentation will be developed as soon and the design is NOW fully checked out and debugged. I don*t anticipate any real problems as I kitted this design MANY years ago as the very 1st Sudden Storm kit. Builders guide and schematic are for the original design are already posted HERE AS original SS Instructions.
