Pixie - 2

Well, the time has come to build smallest possible working transceiver. Many of them has been built before occupying various tin boxes.  Searching through internet resources I came to conclusion that my pixie must work wider than original design based on single crystal  and there was a need to have TX offset capability. . Every Ham should try  to build this cute rig himself or from the kit. Unforgettable experience and pleasure.

Introduction
The Pixie is a miniature radio transceiver CW, versatile which is very popular among radio amateurs around the world.

The components used are easily obtainable on the market or can scrounge for scrap of a workshop for TV.

  The shares are basically four audio amplifier, the crystal oscillator, power amp / mixer - tank and the output side tone.
The assembly is done in Manhattan style, "isolated islands" and "dead bug" (dead bug) that facilitates the mounting and possible improvements and modifications. In addition to the printed circuit boards do not require chemical attack, hurricanes etc..
The first part of this work refers to the crystal Pixie, which describe the operation and assembly detailed in the second part describe a change implemented by us which is the Pixie with ceramic resonator which has a much lower cost, has an excellent stability, inductors and commercial uses also covers the entire range of CW of the 40m line with the varicap........
