[KLQRP] KISS

[Piatt, Darwin]

Well, I was thinking if Ray lays it out properly, it should fit in a cigar tube. :)

Sir Gary (and the group!); 
  
Oh man, I like the TL431, with that, it would look like only 3 transistors ☺ - Cool….. 
Does it come in SMT for Ray?  Well, Duh! It does.. go look at it Ray!

And a little volume control wouldn’t hurt anyone.. 
  
I keep looking at my Razar and thinking, these guys managed to stuff a duplex transmitter/receiver in that little box. I’ll bet a buck or two we could come up with a ½ watt 40 meter (maybe 10 meter) tiny little SSB rig that would fit in my Altoids tin. Might not be KISS but, Darn it would be so cool.. 
I mean, just look at the FRS radios I got at Wal Mart for cheap. FRS? Isn’t that like 440? (UHF).. NEXT? 
  
My XYL asked me last night after I tried to explain what Ray and I (and your crew) were doing if there wasn’t some kind of ‘shot’ available for what ever was infecting Ray and I.  Don’t think so….  ☺
