beginning of December '17 it finally arrived.
The uBITX transceiver kit was in the mail.

For the fun of it! I am really excited to set that thing up, do some QRP stuff and eventually leave the TRX for FT8 which seems to work fine with low power.Besides it is not too expensive: 109$ US + customs charge which was actually 26$ in my case.
Many modifications and additions are already available. The coolest thing would be CAT possibility which is also available.
And it's pretty hackable with it's Arduino. All open source! Love it
Where to get one?
