As so many, I enjoy reading your posts on the SWLing Post, very clear and understandable written with eye for details. I just did a \u201cread-again\u201d of the QCX+ article<\/a> and thought that maybe you also would be interested in another European kit, namely the DB4020 by Javier Solans of QRP HAMRADIO KITS in Spain.<\/p>\n

The DB4020 is a 2 band kit enabling you to do 40 and 20 meters, SSB and CW. The SSB part of the kit can be obtained for 150\u20ac (169$), Print is a beautiful doubled sided silkscreen with enough space to mount all parts without problems. Some SMD parts are factory installed by Javier, all other parts are normal parts that can be soldered by anyone who knows how to hold a soldering iron. The CW part is an additional module which needs to be plugged into the main board. There will also be a CW filter available soon.<\/p>\n

For more information please see : https:\/\/www.qrphamradiokits.com\/transceivers\/db4020-dual-band-ssb\/#cc-m-product-12710260049<\/a><\/p>\n

I\u2019m building the kit at the moment and enjoy every minute of it. I\u2019m not related or don\u2019t have any benefit in sending you this mail, only want to draw some attention to a great kit and super friendly owner who goes the extra mile to have happy customers.<\/p>\n

Have a great day<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Thank you for the tip, Frank–and I’m glad you enjoy the SWLing Post<\/em>! EA3GCY’s kit does look very nice indeed. We would love to see your photos once the kit is complete! It looks like a kit I’d certainly love<\/em> building!<\/p>\n
