Small Wonder Labs SW-40 Kit (Part 1)

My first transceiver kit, a nice little radio with great instructions and is easy to build. I built this board over 2 nights, about 4-5 hours in total. While researching and ordering this kit I was still in the process of getting my foundation license, and not long after getting the kit in the mail I stumbled onto a small problem…

Foundation license holders are not allowed to operate homebrew transmitters…

I went ahead with the build, but until I got my standard license I was stuck using it as a receiver. All the more reason to upgrade!!
