W5KUB has a really good interview with Farhan. There are several spots where the Skype connection gets quite choppy, but hang in there -- it gets better. Farhan provides a lot of good info on the history of the BITX rigs, his design philosophy, and the importance of the EMRFD book. He also talks about how the BITX 40 Module is produced. And he talks a bit about possible future rigs. Great stuff. I was very pleased to hear that Farhan is trying to eliminate the need for his FT-817 (he currently needs it for its general coverage receiver) so that he can have a completely homebrew hamshack. FB!
i saw the interview and it s great but one think i like most.finally it begun to talk about radio hambrewing and not only about antenna s and modulation s as before.9a3xz-Mikele

The two versions are identical, except for a minor difference in the paper used. That's why the prices are a bit different.
