A great little, "get your feet wet" direct conversion receiver. Not too practical for real world use because of the fixed TX/RX crystal. A good learning tool to some RF concepts though.

Troubleshooting Notes

1 pixie had the main NPN transistor blown out as it's not designed for "brick on the key" operation. Still trying to get it working.
