Yes, that was actually the point of my tread.
but if he is, I would recommended a subscription to the GQRP club.
Their Annual Subscription rate is very modest, in fact a bargain at
£6 per annum.
Thanks but no about the GQRP club.
What's the problem with the GQRP Club?

Why are there no Pixie-like kits for the 2 metres?
Sooner or later, I'll want to have a go at doing CW on 144, but it seems
the only feasible way is to get some rusty 2nd hand rigs from the 90s
that probably need returning, etc.

of an audio tone generator and operate audio modulated Morse code.
There is plenty of spectrum ,hardly used , in the VHF and UHF bands.
And FM radios can be very cheap ............Baofeng et al

Yaesu FT-891 is all mode HF and 50MHz ....not 2m and 70 cms
Yaesu FT991 is all mode HF incl 50MHz -144MHz and 430 MHz ,so
suitable for 2m CW and of course also FM audio morse code
My response referred to low cost FM only equipment covering 2m and
perhaps 70cms for use by audio morse code transmission/reception .

I don't know if the OP is specifically interested in homebrew QRP,
but
if he is, I would recommended a subscription to the GQRP club. Their
Annual Subscription rate is very modest, in fact a bargain at £6 per annum.

There's much to be said in favour of the GQRP club, particularly if you
enjoy homebrewing.
My main criticism is that many of the designs in Sprat are effectively
the same, typically one or two transistor rigs with the PA used as a
mixer on receive and a 386 audio amp to drive an earphone. Above all it
must fit into an altoids tin!
To me the Pixie is a novelty rig - probably great fun when you do
actually make a contact, but then the novelty would wear off very quickly.
