Andy,
My wife is building the 2 meter kit as we speak!
She has a General class but no earned or natural
talents in kit building.
She has only the transmitter to assemble and the rig will be done.
So far only a VOLT/ OHM METER is required for making this kit.
I see the book is very well thought out.
Corrections to be made are limited to a few spelling errors and
updates in cpu not mentioned.
I am tring to finds faults in the directions.
I can see Ten-Tec has a great future if this 2 meter kit.
THIS IS A GREAT KIT! VERY GOOD COMMON SENSE DESIGN!
I any of you operate Motorola equipment you will see similar
concepts integrated in this kit.
I have over $100,000 of test equipment under my nose to double
check my work. NONE HAS BEEN NEEDED! Only the VOLT/ OHM METER.
I have made notes to make directions even better.
I update this reflector as wife Jana finishes kit!
ETA of finishing her kit "two weeks or less from today"
I will fully test Jana's kit with Milspec calibrated system
test set and frequency counters when finished.
I would say this kit is set up for someone with basic understanding
of electronics and kit building with some soldering.
GREAT KIT!
