Pixie CW transceiver

[Lightspeed]

To get back on track, I proposed the Pixie as a useful prep tool as its inexpensive, small, robust and performs better than its price would suggest. Its also a very simple device with a minimal component count.

That simplicity lends itself to our purpose.

The most vulnerable component in any transmitter is its output transistor. I've taken the precaution of laying in a backup stock of 100 of these. The cost? £1.00 from China.
