>The Arizona ScQRPions is offering a new kit, designed by Dan Tayloe N7VE.
>This kit is a CW audio Frequency Counter, dubbed the ScQRPions Stinger
>Singer.
>
>Need a frequency counter for alignment, crystal matching or just to know
>where you are on that old analog dial setting? This one will do the trick.
>Small, easy to construct and operating from 5V DC, it will quickly become a
>valuable part of your workbench.
>
>Based on a PIC 12C508A chip, programmed by Dan, this counter announces the
>frequency in CW at either 18 or 27 wpm. There are four modes, short (10's
>KHz, 1KHz and 100 Hz), long (complete freq down to 1 Hz), short repeat (same
>as short, but repeated indefinitely) and long repeat. There is also a filter
>mode, which gives you 1's KHz, "R", then 100's KHz. A programming button
>allows you to stop the process at any time.
>
>Built on a quality printed circuit board, the entire circuit, including
>speaker and battery, fits into an Altoids or similar sized tin. It's small
>enough to fit into just about any rig in your shack, including the SMK-1.
>All parts, including sockets for both chips are included.
>
>To order, please send a check for $20.00 payable to Bob Hightower, to me at
>1905 N. Pennington Drive, Chandler, AZ 85224-2632. Please include a return
>mailing label.
>
>If you use PayPal, you may also order using that method of payment by
>sending a payment to nk7m@extremezone.com. Be sure to include your name and
>address in the memo section of the payment screen indicating that you are
>purchasing the SSS kit.
>
>This kit is available now, and will be also be on hand at our booth at Fort
>Tuthill.
>
>Prototype information is available on the web (ugly construction only at
>this time) so you may get further information. We'll add morein a couple of
>days. Go to http://www.extremezone.com/~nk7m/cwafc.htm   for the text and
>pictures.
