The Pixie is available as a 40m transceiver extremely inexpensively from China. It is a low power transceiver, but the receiver is a real compromise often suffering from overload from broadcast stations and with poor selectivity. These mods by VK3YE 9 years ago make it a bit better.
If you are after a really low cost way of getting into amateur radio, this may be it. There have been several variations of it down the years.
The Pixie and Micro80 are also on my website.
