    The crystal IF filter is pretty sharp. No problems with SSB, some funny
    stuff with CW. I’m going to put an audio filter on it to sharpen it up.
    Really fun radio. 73 /paul W3FIS

    Heath, Good to see one working in the flesh. I think there was someone in
    VK4 using one of the previous versions of the same radio and the tx audio
    was a little on bass side, so this updated version will be interesting to
    hear how the tx audio is. Adam, VK2YK & VK6GA

    Good luck with Kight – I purchased one in March, essentially DOA, sent it
    back for a warranty replacement in April and have heard nothing
    since…..no email or on site messaging has been replied to – am now
    seeking redress through my Bank for a chargeback. 73 Steve VK2ARS

    will be interested in a demo of the receiver on a busy band, and your
    experience using it for transmit. Certainly looks like an interesting
    concept. Andrew VK1DA

    Very nice. I am waiting on mine from Kightradio — and it has been a long
    wait. I am happy to see the drought may have broken! By the way, was that
    an RS232 9-pin connector to 9-pin connector patch cable I saw on the bench
    between the two radios? And does that mean you have been able to control it
    from a PC? 73 de David vk2dmh.

    Great walk through of the basic functions, buttons, performance, etc. I’m
    seriously considering this little QRP radio for camping.

    Most people who own this radio LOVE it, despite it being far from perfect.
    If you haven’t seen one in the flesh, you’ll be surprised at how small it
    is. You really have to ‘see it to believe it’.
