Oh yeah, they do from me to be sure.
If only they would make some of the more advanced SMT parts in a less pin dense package, then I would use SMT more often. Because of that, you basically MUST have a proper PCB if you want to use SMT, and I dislike that. Though if I could print circuit boards, I would be less irritated by SMT I'm sure.
Back on topic.
So it looks like the only thing these little buggers can do is radio IF crap? And really only for a very specific and particular role? alec_t had a good idea with the bat detector, any more ideas similar to that? I don't think I will ever need to make 40 bat detectors.
. . . I'm not particularly chiroptophobic and I don't know any chiropterist's.
