To complement the RadCom 'Getting Started' article in the January 2014 issue the RSGB has produced a special kit of parts to make the surface mount wideband amplifier. The RSGB in conjunction with DCP Microdevelopments Ltd has put together a specially commissioned circuit board that measures 40x26mm and all the components listed below. Simply put the kit contains all the components needed for construction of this surface mount wideband amplifier project - all you need supply is the enthusiasm, solder and tools to get constructing.
