Build Log: Starting the MiniKits M1 Transceiver

This past summer, I ordered a MiniKits M1 modular transceiver kit. This kit packages each section onto a separate circuit board, for future modifications. Work at on1 was super busy, so I put off assembling the kit until the Christmas holiday. I did not purchase the MiniKits PIC based control and DDS system. I am going to use a si5351 with an Atmel ARM chip for digital control. I had pcbs.io manufacture a pcb with a super nice Bourns optical encoder for the main frequency dial.

The modules I purchased are:

  • EME208
  • EME207-20m
  • EME207-40m
  • EME211
  • EME209-19m-30m
  • EME206
  • EME210
  • EME201
  • EME202
  • EME203-9m-2.5k
