Sort your components into a component holder or a piece of paper with taped sections. It is much easier to build when you aren't hunting for a specific resistor value.

This article serves as a comprehensive , covering assembly, theory of operation, and usage to ensure you get this tiny miracle of radio engineering on the air.

Identify values using a multimeter or color code. s-pixie cw qrp manual

The S-Pixie is a variant of the classic "Pixie" transceiver design. It is a direct-conversion receiver and a crystal-controlled transmitter designed for the 40-meter band (typically 7.023 MHz).

Building the S-Pixie requires basic soldering skills and the following tools: a soldering iron, solder wire, diagonal cutters, and ideally a multimeter. Newport County Radio Club S-Pixie QRP Kit Sort your components into a component holder or

| Jack/Switch | Function | |-------------|----------| | (BNC or SMA) | 50 Ω antenna | | KEY (3.5 mm mono) | Straight key (tip = key, sleeve = GND) | | PWR (DC jack) | 9–12 V DC (center positive unless labelled) | | Volume pot | Adjusts sidetone/receive volume | | XTAL socket (optional) | Replace crystal to change band |

The cannot be contained in a single sheet of paper. It lives in the experience of soldering a toroid at midnight, hearing a faint "dit dit" from across the continent, and realizing that radio is not about watts – it’s about wires, crystals, and curiosity.
