ATS 1 (Ver 2.0) 20m SSB Home Brew Kit

It's been an overwhelming response and I just wanted everyone to know that we owe it to support from a few folks who motivated, guided and helped us to put all things together, a special mention to Dr. Ashutosh Singh (VU2IF) who kindly allowed us to use this circuit and design. Rahul (VU3WJM) who ignited the spark within us to do it all the way, Bharat (VU2BDX) who first suggested we need to do something to keep the hobby alive, Venu (VU2LRL) for his inputs and commitment to help all those who would try out this circuit and last but not the least - Shradha, Rajani's (VU3CAV) xyl who allowed us to keep all the mess in the house and helped in packing each of the kits. A special mention to Rajesh (VU2OEC) - for his kind feedback that led to this site getting so many hits in last few days!

I have received emails about the circuit and features the kit has to offer, and this is perfect forum for an overview!

About ATS

- Designed by VU2IF (Dr. Ashutosh Singh) along with VU3WJM, VU2LRL, VU2RTV and others (in 80's)
- Single board Tx Rx for 20m
- Designed with components that are available in Indian Market (It was designed with indian conditions in mind...)
- Can be modified to other bands (multiband) - This kit is for 20m only
- Output approx 15W

About the KIT

Kit Contains

• PCB + Coils
• BEL Crystals (LSB & USB) and Crystal Filter for 9MHz
• Components for Transceiver Section (minus power supply - we do not recommend using onboard power supply section)
• Writeup / construction instructions.

Not Included in Kit

• Cabinet
• Frequency Counter
• PTT Switch / PTT
• Speaker
• Power Supply components

 
Few Transistors and components are provided as spare (cost included in kit)
Postage charges - as applicable by Speed Post / Courier

Since this is a hobby project for us, we do not keep the components stocked, and BEL filters are procured from Bangalore (which has a lead delivery time of 4-6 weeks from date of order)

Initial phase, we had confirmed 15 participants, and we had purchased components to meet this requirement, and for next lot - we would again go to market to purchase as per demand.

If you are keen to build this kit, please send your confirmation at the earliest. We have limited PCB's (only 30 left now). I may also add, that the next set of ATS - 1 kits would take approx 3-4 weeks for us to purchase and pack the components, and 4-6 weeks for crystals to be delivered. For DX we would wait for Crystal Filter and Crystals to arrive and send all in a single shipment.

Thank you for the interest in homebrewing!

All Kits in first phase have been dispatched - and I am going to post updates - on starting the costruction. Please bear in mind that I have a regular morning QTH and thus updates may not come as soon you may expect.
