Good Evening VUs & DX Friends, Just returned from factory with bag full of PCB. Minor corrections & Masking have already done by me (with cost of FILMS twice, but not included) ;) Cost of per set PCB only (Exiter + Si570 VFO + Serial Board) ) is coming approx Rs 70/- each. after packaging & printing (manual) etc it might go Rs 100/- or say = $ 1.5 US approx (in round-figure), Also I wish to dispatch by EMS speed post, coz it's reliable. I have made all PCB in *best available quality, if we talk of lamination & copper thickness ETC. I could have managed per set with in Rs 30/- with Paper phenolic, but skipped it coz PCB-Paper-Phenolic gets bend after aging. ------------------------------------------------------------ CQ UK, I have already arranged free shipping to London, or it might cost you local domestic charges only. ------------------------------------------------------------ After brief discussion with Farhan, I am also planning printing MINIMA manual, systematic, component list etc. so that you need not print it individually, & zerox-copy along with PCB will be more economic & handy (will also provide extra protection layer for PCB in transportation) we will finalize late-night today, what ever needs to be printed... or you guys can also suggest me, if need any extra hard copy attached. printing will be done by tomorrow first-half only, here at my end. Will try dispatch tomorrow onwards if all goes OK. -------------------------------------------------------------- So now you should start collecting components from electronic-shop nearby you, (this is true home-brewing & great learning) use MFR (check with magnet weather leads made of iron, skip them coz it catches rust) same goes with BJT use multilayer plastic coated bypass caps. VHF-TV Guanella cores (binocular) are available here (depending on size) Rs 1~2 each & I can send. If have any difficulty in getting relays in your locality, please do not hesitate to mail me, I’ll be more than happy to send you in whatever whole-sale coast price... but in that case you guys need to give me 15 days of downtime, coz I visit big-electronics-only-market once in fortnight for M-QTH purpose, & it's 14KM away. Finally, 'One World One Language' though I am very small a person, just trying carry forward good work of Ashhar & Adrian. & along with other knowledgeable senior-hams, & I'll be more than happy to help! in whatever way I can... -- -- Please encourage recycling, reuse or repairing of E-waste. ░7░3░ ░d░e░ ░V░U░3░S░X░T░
