Currently available MIZUHO QRP gear.
QRP people here helped my 38 Special a lot. Some station
asked me about MIZUHO.I post currently available MIZUHO
QRP products list with my comments here as an information.
You can purchase them 10-15% off at amateur radio retailers.
($1=YEN125.)
Transceiver(We call them Pico series):
MX-6S 32,000yen 50MHz SSB/CW 1W
MX-7S 32,000yen 7MHz SSB/CW 2W
MX-21S 32,000yen 21MHz SSB/CW 2W
PL-6S 21,600yen 50MHz Linear 10W
PL-7S 21,600yen 7MHz Linear 10W
PL-21S 21,600yen 21MHz Linear 10W
comments: The smallest CW/SSB transceiver in the world.
S/RF meter, Noise-branker, Attenuator installed handy
talky type QRP rig. VXO A/B channel selection of each
50Khz(below 7MHz:25KHz) coverage. IF is 11MHz.11Tr 3IC.
The company sporadically make 3.5,14,18,28MHz version.
It is very difficult to buy them because many amateur
want to have it. Now only completed Pico transceiver
is supplied. I suppose many failed to complete kit and
troubled company. You can see them at JE2CDC's web,
http://www.dtinet.or.jp/~je2cdc/english/index_e.html
Options for Pico:
PM1 3,300yen DC-DC converter
MS-1 4,600yen SpeakerMic
PR3-S 4,500yen Lack mount (MX,CW-2S,PL)
CW-2S 8,400yen CW semi-break-in unit /w sidetone
BM-6 1,500yen lather bag
PS-2 3,600yen AC adapter

AN-50 3,600yen 50MHz lod antenna
AN-7 4,800yen 7MHz lod antenna
AN-21 4,800yen 21MHz lod antenna
comments: Pico need 9V power (AAA battery x 6). Feeding
12V will destroy the unit. I think DC-DC is expensive you
can make 9V with 7808 and one Di between the GND. CW-2S
is recommended for CW operation.

QP-21 3,000yen 21MHz 1W CW transmitter
QP-7 3,000yen 7MHz 1W CW transmitter
CK-1D 9,000yen Currtis Electric keyer

KX-50K 8,000yen 50MHz antenna coupler
comments:QP series are the most famous kit with fixed crystal.
It does not change the price more than 10 years. VFOs are
sealed module with iron case.Japanese QRPer use this unit to
avoid difficult unstable VFO problem which annoys other station.
"MIZUHO" means beautiful riceplant. The owner JA1AMH Mr.Takada
named his company as he wish everyone to remember the beautiful
country and free quiet life with his QRP radio goods in this
busy world.
I am no relation with MIZUHO. Just a user enjoy MIZUHO.
