Most of the parts arrive.
Mounting all the parts on the boxes takes a while.
The end of a days work.
Waiting for boards to be installed.
It takes a long time to load all the surface mount parts.
Some boards ready to install.
Ready for testing
All the final assemblies were individually tested
Tested for frequency response and Tx / Rx gain. As well as ensuring all the PCB components are mounted correctly the recycled speaker / mic sensitivity is also tested. All speakers had a quick test before being installed. Most were good, some excellent and a handful were thrown away. The final test is a simple voice test between two Michiephones just to make sure.
Finished.

A run of Michiephone handsets for New Zealand Cave Search and Rescue.
Hills have refined the Michiephone design to make it easier to make but it still takes a long time to build fifty.
