The Pixie money game!
8 April 2015 | by A couple of months ago my friend and Blogger G3XBM was into buying Pixie kits from China, he thought he had bought a bargain for the £7.00 he paid for the kit? Shortly afterwards I found the kits at around a couple of Pounds lower than Roger had bought his for. But this was short lived, a week or so later Roger blogged that Andy Cutland had found them for £3.19 pence, this undercut my price yet again by nearly £1.50!!
Well the story continues!! I have now found the Pixie kits cheaper yet again!!! The complete kit as above (inc PCB components and Xtal), all for a penny pinching £2.89p ($4.30 US), and the more you buy the cheaper it gets! Oh yes I forgot the price "Includes" shipping!!
You could buy several kits without busting the bank, and put them on different Bands with Xtal and small mod of low pass filter changes.
Is this now the cheapest Transceiver kit in the world, or can anyone find them cheaper still??

Hi all,
I put a socket in mine and tried all different bands. I ended up with 7.28MHz ceramic resonator and I listen to my favorite 40 SSB net. Works great for the price and only paid $4.
Where is the manuals? Anyone with a link, please.
