Hi peeps. About 9 differing replies.. all using different techniques. I am "bucking the trend"... Unless its a very unknown circuit, I start with a pcb... with the Toner method its quick and easy, and if it is not right.. It NEVER is, modify and go again. I like CAD because a minor change or even a major change is easy. My 2M/6M transceiver is at about ver 8 for the PA module, In my view the "dead bug" method is not for me, and with modern IC's nearly impossible anyway. When the modules are finished I scratch build a case, with a good idea of knowing what I want to start with.
