Building a ham radio transceiver:ATS3B by Steven Weber KD1JV

I am not a very experienced builder, but I am trying to tackle a rather sophisticated and miniaturized kit developed by Steven Weber in New Hampshire. You can see more about it if you google ATS-3. If you are patient, you can get your own.

The first part of the video is before heating the board with a Hobby Lobby heat embossing tool with the board sitting on a common coffee cup heater. The second half of the video is AFTER heating and flowing the solder paste. Note the solder bridges on the smallest of the ICs--which I didn't have luck wicking, so I scraped it open between the pins. (Knock on wood.)
So ahead: finishing it, testing it, getting on the air, and putting it in some enclosure. Whoo hoo!
