“The Electronics Of Radio” NorCal 40B Transceiver Build Lab Notes: Problem Solution Links

This is a list of links to each blog on the problems presented in “The Electronics of Radio” by David B. Rutledge (1999, 2008), a textbook that uses the NorCal 40B Transceiver kit as a backdrop for learning electronics. Keep in mind that I am a novice and these solutions may be, and in many cases probably are, wrong. I welcome any discussion on these. To get the most out of this series of posts, it is best to have a copy of the book and the NorCal 40B transceiver available to build. Now lets see if I make it through all 39 problems in 400+ pages of text and come up with a working 40M cw transceiver at the end! Here’s to motivation!
