The Tramp 8 CW transceiver is supposed to become our standard 8 Band CW QRP Transceiver

8 bands switchable from the front plate

• Design: DK1HE
  Project Coordination: DL2FI
  
  Goals:
• Portable, low power consumption
  High level Receiver frontend. Significant better then most available portable Transceivers
• stable in portable use
• As small as possible
• Low Budged Transceiver, modular (start with one band, end with 8, all to be switched from the front plate) 
• power out from a few mW up to 5 Watt
• Hybrid design, SMD and standard parts mixed. 1 main board plus 8 band modules
  
• Kit to be available either with premounted SMD or not
  
• 3-stage Bandpass RX frontend
  
• Black Forest PLL
  
• Standard Varicap VFO, DL-QRP-AG Mini DDS optional.
  
• DL-QRP-AG push pull PA 5Watt power out
  
• Douplesuperhet RX, 1. IF: 4,9126 ("SIERRA" IF), 2. IF 479 kHz. AGC-generate from IF, AGC Dynamic > 90 dB, 
  
• two stage AF Filter
