The RockRose is designed to be a single evening or weekend project that will be fun to build and even more fun to use but with more parts and a more complicated alignment procedure we feel the RockRose is more suited for intermediate level builders. If you’re not experienced with building kits the Rooster is still a better starting point and we will continue to offer that too. The RockRose kit uses a mix of SMD and though hole parts, ALL the SMD parts are pre-installed but still leaving about 40 parts to fit to complete the transceiver. The kit can be completed in a comfortable 2-3 hours by an experienced builder but a less experienced builder may want to take more time and this would be a good choice for an intermediate level build-a-thon or club build with more experience helpers and more time if needed.

The RockRose has a built in Iambic keyer (Mode B) that allows adjustment of the keying speed, it also has a built in Auto CQ call feature too.  Another feature allows selection of Iambic/BUG/ or straight key modes (see instructions) 

The RockRose will require a suitable antenna with a low SWR, headphones, power source, and of course a Morse Key!

 We also sell an inline volume control that works great with headphones plugged into the RockRose, you can save a little by buying the control at the same time as the kit (its just £1 if ordered with the kit) you will see it on the pull down menu.
