Skill Level 1

Simple:

 Calls for a few basic tools-

a soldering iron, cutters, plyers, wire strippers,
and a small screw driver. Does not require test 
equipment for final adjustment or tuning.

-Razor sharp selectivity dramatically
 snatches out your desired CW signal from a mass of interference.
-Select from 3 bandwidth: 80, 1 10, 1 80 H z. Center frequency
 is a pleasant 75 0 H z.
-1 5 dB noise reduction relieves fatigue. Automatic noise limiter
 knocks down static crashes and other impulse noises. Plugs into
 your transceiver’s phone jack. Drives external speaker to one watt.
-Requires 9  to 1 8VDC, 3 00 mA
