BITX20 is a bidirectional SSB transceiver for the 20m amateur radio band, designed and built by Ashhar Farhan, 2004. The project details are on http://www.phonestack.com/farhan/bitx.html.

This group exists for constructors of the BITX project, to discuss all aspects of the design and construction including problems, components, modifications and experiences using the rig.

Although this rig is for 20m, who knows maybe we'll modify them for other bands or general coverage!

STOP PRESS!

Ashhar Farhan was interviewed for a CNN report (08-May-05, 20:00 UTC) on the Amateur Radio contribution to the Asian Tsunami disaster relief effort (see photo). The program is 7 minutes long, but there is a 29 second clip showing the BITX20 and Farhan's interview. View the 29s video:
