In 1982 George Burt GM3OXX described in the summer 1983 edition of "SPRAT Magazine, a transceiver that used only 5 transistors, had tone-side and R.I.T., called" FOXX ". This was probably the first QRP transceiver to use the same bipolar transistor on the final amplifier and the receive mixer.
From that moment, designs of similar nature appeared from Europe and the United States. As the concept was improved it began to be known as "Pixie".

The version of this Kit, is the one published by the famous enthusiast of the QRP and armed Casero Doug Demaw W1FB (sk), also includes 700hz of Offset in transmission and a filter of audio of 700Hz.

Although this equipment is the easiest to build, it does not stop being effective when making communications, which of course will have much more "taste" and merit than those made by the commercial team on duty.

It is interesting to note that this circuit was used experimentally as beacon (radiofaro) in the band of 40 meters and was heard in the province of Buenos Aires by an Argentine radio amateur which provoked their interest and searched QRZ.com the code used in The project CX5AA / B, who was very interested, contacted the author, coordinated a meeting and performed the QSO in CW more than 200 km away with very good signals. The project emits an approximate power of 250 to 300 milliwatts can operate with source or batteries with a voltage of between 9 and 12 Vcc.
