Phil, would you possibly recommend one of the prebuilt models for an absolute beginner? This will be my introductory dive into anything radio-related. I learned soldering basics when I was younger (guitar pickups and related electronics were probably the most relevant), but it’s been at least a decade.
I’m wondering whether it makes sense to get one that basically just works, to get familiar with it from that angle, connect it to my phone or computer and start messing around.
Then I could go back, order the parts, build a second one, and experiment with comms over distance, until I find other people somewhere near me that are also involved. What do you think?
And just checking, from link you shared above and the previous link from a couple months ago, am I correct that they’re the same item, just from different sellers and at different stages of assembly?
