Here is the amazingly beautiful “Pacific 40” build of the Simple SSB transceiver. The builder is Kacy KI7NNS. This was part of the Vienna Wireless Society group build led by Dean KK4DAS. The design is from Pete N6QW.
Here is more info on Kacy’s rig, and on a recent SOTA activation.

Congratulations to Kacy KI7NNS for a really nice rig.
Outstanding workmanship, simple and well executed. Good job OM keep up the good work! – N3FJZ – 73
This is a great example of the homebrewer’s art. Fabulous metal work and finish. Good choice of Juliano Blue for the front panel. It adds at least two S-units on receive, and I’ve heard it filters out RFI. –Todd K7TFC
Hi the headset you use looks good who is it made by ?
The headset I used is a gaming headset available on Amazon for 4.99$ currently. The “Xbox” version comes with a TRRS plug that I modified to split out into 2x TRS 3.5mm plugs. The separate Mic/Spk jacks on the radio makes operating digital modes simple. So far it works perfectly!
Not sure what I messed up to post that reply 3 times but here’s a link to the headset. https://tinyurl.com/5yxdpdh4
Lovely. The overall build, twisted wires (even!) and the execution is just the best. Well done.
