ARRL's Low Power Communication with 40-meter CW Cub Transceiver Kit
-- Book with kit

Get the book with the kit! This special bundle includes:

  • ARRL's Low Power Communication book -- NEW Third Edition
  • The MFJ 40-meter CW Cub Transceiver Kit -- YOU build it!

    You'll enjoy countless hours operating this tiny high performance radio. Build the kit in just a few hours, and you'll be working the world with low-power fun!

    Whether you're taking a 10-minute DX break from your computer at work or home or back-packing in the mountains, the Cub is a great way to put the magic back into your ham radio.

    Basic Electronics Course and Kit
    --
    The Basic Electronics Course and Kit is intended for those teachers and instructors that want a ready resource that they can adapt to their instruction of electronic fundamentals. The materials include a PowerPoint presentation and instructor's script. The course is designed around affordable components, prototyping board, and VOM which are included in the kit. The topics discussed during the course include:

    The topics up to and including Ohm's Law are considered the most basic and are covered in detail. The remaining topics cover additional fundamental components of basic electronics, however they receive only brief coverage.

    The course can be presented in platform discussion, guided practice, and open question format as the material dictates.

    The recommended reference for this course is Understanding Basic Electronics, sold separately.

    Boe-Bot Robot Kit
    -- The ever-popular Boe-Bot® Robot Full Kit, now available with a USB-compatible Board of Education (BOE).

    The Robotics with the Boe-Bot text includes 41 new activities for the Boe-Bot Robot with structured PBASIC 2.5 source code support and bonus challenges with solutions in each chapter. Starting with basic movement and proceeding to sensor-based projects, the Boe-Bot is expandable for many different robotic projects. You quickly learn about embedded projects, from wiring and components to programming and mechanical dependencies. The kit includes a set of passive components (wires, resistors, capacitors), sensors (photoresistors, bumpers, infrared sensors) and hardware (whisker touch-sensor kit) to complete the different projects. No previous robotics, electronics or programming experience is necessary!

    The Boe-Bot Robot takes about 1-2 hours to put together. Completing the entire set of projects takes 50 hours and is suitable for anybody over 12 years of age. The USB Board of Education (and BS2-IC) may also be removed to be used as your platform for the other kits in the Stamps in Class series.

    After mastering the basics, use your skills on one of these projects:

  • Satellite antenna rotor controller
  • DTMF encoder/decoder
  • Digital Frequency Synthesis controller
  • Automated antenna tuner
  • Electronic weather station
  • GPS/APRS interface
  • Seismograph
  • TV Remote Decoder
  • Fox Hunting Rig Controller

    The Boe-Bot Robot is an integral part of ARRL's Teacher Institute on Wireless Technology

    Parallax USB Oscilloscope (Details)
    -- This portable two-channel digital storage oscilloscope is a handy and affordable tool for both hobbyist and student. Three pairs of probes connect to the compact powder-coated aluminum case, two for signal channels and the third for external TTL triggering. The hardware connects to your PC with the included USB cable for both data transfer and power, so no external power supply is needed.

    All oscilloscope controls are managed through one of two software interface platforms. Both platforms include classic scope features such as Auto and Normal trigger modes, variable trigger voltage, external triggering, and auto-measurements (Min, Max, Frequency, Period). Three easy-to-use cursor functions to measure acquired signals manually, with the option to snap to the waveform. Each platform also allows you to save customized setups, and to export data and bitmaps for analysis and inclusion in reports.

    Software Versions and System Requirements:
    *Version 4.0, which operates on Windows 2K/XP, is compatible with the Understanding Signals v1.0/v1.0a Stamps in Class text.
    *Version 5.1, which runs on Windows XP/Vista, does not support the Understanding Signals text.

    After mastering the basics, try one of these related projects:

  • Satellite antenna rotor controller
  • DTMF encoder/decoder
  • Digital Frequency Synthesis controller
  • Automated antenna tuner
  • Electronic weather station
  • GPS/APRS interface
  • Seismograph
  • TV Remote Decoder
  • Fox Hunting Rig Controller
