Here's the AI2Q version of
K8IQY's famous 2N2/40 transceiver. This 40-meter QRP CW
rig uses 22 Type 2N2222 transistors, hence its name. No
integrated circuits are used. My version includes a sidetone oscillator, for a total of 24 transistors. The small chassis in the foreground is a simple SWR indicator. The certificate attests to its existence as the ninth such rig built. Click image for a magnified view. |

Here's a close-up of the
2N2/40's innards and front panel. The rig includes full
metering, a variable crystal filter, and vari-cap tuning. The componentry is protected by a clear Lexan cover plate. Click image for a magnified view. Learn more about the 2N2/40 by clicking here. |
