I've left out R5 as I have the volume pot and also R18 which is a 10 ohm resistor as I'm going to replace the final transistor 2N2222 and therefore reduce the value of R18 but I'll put in sockets so that I can adjust the value.
It's looking good so far, a much cleaner attempt than when I was making the RM-40 but I guess that's to be expected as you get better with practice. I was hoping to have it completed by the end of the weekend, but since I'm upgrading I will need to wait for the spare parts so it looks like it will be completed mid week.
Some good news on the RM-40, I managed to have a QSO with an MI station in Northern Ireland some 250 miles away. Mick in Armagh gave me a 449 which in the circumstances was not bad and we had a good QSO. I'll try and break that distance record this weekend!
