Its been a while since I put together my 20M Phaser and 40M Phaser kits (still have a 17M to build) so I have always been looking for similar kits since I had so much fun building and using them, unfortunately they are no longer produced, so when I ran across this it instantly peaked my interest (so much so I ordered one, so will have a separate post on how that goes).

<p>
<strong>ADX-S Digital Modes (WSPR, JS8, FT4 and FT8) <abbr title="High Frequency">HF</abbr> QRP Transceiver Kit with 40, 20, 15 and 10 meter LPF Band Modules</strong>
</p>
<p>
Here is a link to a review on a YouTube page that explains a bit about it, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGH0kUvkqX0" class="urlextern" title="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGH0kUvkqX0" rel="ugc nofollow">REVIEW: CR Kits ADX-S 4 band digital mode transceiver kit</a> and here is another link with more info about it from <a href="https://qrper.com/2023/03/from-idea-to-kit-adam-introduces-the-arduino-digital-modes-hf-qrp-transceiver-adx-s-kit/" class="urlextern" title="https://qrper.com/2023/03/from-idea-to-kit-adam-introduces-the-arduino-digital-modes-hf-qrp-transceiver-adx-s-kit/" rel="ugc nofollow">**ADAM BD6CR INTRODUCES THE ARDUINO**</a> . Here is a link to the main site that sells these kits: <a href="https://crkits.com/" class="urlextern" title="https://crkits.com/" rel="ugc nofollow">**CRKITS**</a>

Of course while looking into these I ran across something else new to me, <strong>FT8CN</strong> which is an Android App which runs on your phone or tablet which allows your transceiver to not only receive FT8, but also to transmit it too. So I will definitely give this a try with my Phasers and of course the ADS-X when I get that up and running.

Here is a link to the developers GitHub page where there is more info and downloads for it: <a href="https://github.com/N0BOY/FT8CN" class="urlextern" title="https://github.com/N0BOY/FT8CN" rel="ugc nofollow">**FT8CN**</a>. Here is a link by VK3YE on YouTube which has a bit of a review on it <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HA1L8Bbjhs" class="urlextern" title="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HA1L8Bbjhs" rel="ugc nofollow">**REVIEW: FT8 on your Android with FT8CN app (it's free!)**</a>

<p>
So looks like I will have something else to keep me busy.
