Bitx20 - 1. The unpacking

It took me long enough but due to a busy last couple of weeks i had no time what so ever to spend on my bitx20.... But today things changed for the better.... i finally have time to start looking start up my bitx20 project.

It had arrived about 2 weeks after i bought it, so the shipping takes some time but not too longs...

For the people wondering why he asks for 25 dollars for shipment...... 
It comes in a cloth bag... with old fashion seals and all... no i am not kidding...
In the bag is a bag , with in there a bag , with in there a few smaller bags , and in them bags with components.....

Ok lets start showing some pics here......
The bag it came in i through away befor i had a photo... here is the bag which came inside of the outer bag...

With in there even more ESD and protection bags....

With in there more bags with components........

Also in the bag the HARDCOPY manuals.... yes... on paper and stuff... not on a cd as pdf or so .... real paper.... excellent!

I was a bit sceptical about the quality i would get from India, but i have to say i was amazed that all this could be put together for the money i paid for it....


Look at these PCB's...

This is the main pcb (front and back)

And this is the amplifier section PCB

 

It all looks very very VERY nice..... maybe not the best pcb out there... but the best you can buy for this much money


Tonight i wont start soldering stuff... but tomorrow i will....
Pictures will be made :) no worries....
