For a long time I have wanted to get into scratch building amateur radio transceivers. Now I have begun the journey by combing some off the shelf modules to make my own radio receiver.

• Oscillator: QRP Labs VFO/SigGen kit.
• Mixer: Mini-Circuits ZAD-2H
• Audio Amplifier: Behringer U-Phoria UMC204HD
• Antenna: 40m EFHW in the attic
