I've been looking over the pixie schamatic and trying to pick it apart to
figure out what all it does before I build one. I know that Q2 is doing
double duty as a power amp and a detector, but is the "pi filter" on the
output doing filtering or impedence matching? (Maybe the answer is just,
Yes:)

Also I think the second one I put together will have "variable
everything" and see where I can take it without having to resolder
anything. Just think of all the knobs I can have on the front,
could rival my 735, hi. Anyone know where to get 10-1000pF variables that
are small enough to make this feasable? Maybe I can just switch in
parallel caps to take up the slack... Hmm... gotta go play some more!
