Pixiekit 40M CW Shortwave Transceiver QRP Pixie Kit Receiver 7.023Mhz
Descriptions
Pixie kit with 7.023 crystal only
The “PIXIE KIT” is the talk of the town in almost every Ham Radio forum
Hams talk it up and some talk it down, that’s the fun of the Pixie Kit. Despite its small size and DC receiver limitations, it is capable of working
several hundred miles when connected to a good 40-meter antenna.

- DIY Radio 40M CW Shortwave Transmitter Kit Receiver
- This kit is a classic low-power transceiver
- This is a very small volume of simple 40-meter band micro-power amplitude telegraph transceiver that uses a 9V square battery.
- The reception is good, highly readable code which is very desirable among ham radio operators
- The confidential achieve better results, set the antenna performance can not be less than the full length of the horizontal half-wave dipole antenna, in conjunction with the use of Simple Barron, antennas should be kept away from sources of interference, such as fluorescent lights, computer monitors, switching power supplies and other equipment as much as possible with the coaxial cable as feeders to reduce possible interference received, as a small selection of the broadcast interference morning or late at night listening to get the best results to listen to SSB and CW signals signal.
In amateur radio, QRP operation refers to transmitting at reduced power while attempting to maximize one's effective range. QRP operation is a specialized pursuit within the hobby that was first popularized in the early 1920s. QRP operators generally limit their transmitted RF output power to 5 Watts or less regardless of mode be it CW operation or SSB operation.[1]
Reliable two-way communication at such low power levels can be challenging due to changing radio propagation and the difficulty of receiving relatively weak transmitted signals. QRP enthusiasts may employ optimized antenna systems, enhanced operating skills, and a variety of special modes, in order to maximize their ability to make and maintain radio contact. Since the late 1960s, commercial transceivers specially designed for QRP operation have evolved from vacuum tubes to solid-state technology.
A number of organizations dedicated to QRP operation exist, and aficionados participate in various contests designed to test their skill in making long-distance contacts at low power levels.
