Here I take one of my earliest homebrew rigs - a 7 MHz 1 watt VXO direct conversion transceiver made in 1991 - and give it a makeover. The rig now covers more frequencies, can operate split frequency, is more powerful and features a sidetone. These suggestions could be applied to many similar QRP rigs now gathering dust, which is why they're presented here.
