Aeaeaeargh.
Some friends have challenged me to design a working ham transceiver I can make an actual QSO with, with a damn one euro (1€) component BOM, from LCSC.
Thankfully excluding shipping, so don't have to build something like 25 or 50pcs to hit the price point. :D
But it's going to be a real challenge, as I don't actually know CW.
And I want a synthetized rig for some band VHF and up. Quite possibly 2m.
As 23cm seems to require a 1,5€ or 2€ BOM to pull off.

@ftg Single band SSB should be manageable if you do a bunch of bitx-like crystal filtering.

Would have to have an analog VFO, but yeah, with a 4xtal SSB filter like in the original BITX20 and not 8xtal Cohn like in the µBITXit might only consume 10% of the budget.
It is a challenge that does look doable, just decently hard.
The tens of cents start to stack up.
