Hi, All, Below is a note from Tony Parks re:Softrock v7.0.
I would suggest those interested get their money/notes to Tony fast as these will go very quickly!
73, Roger W3SZ Good Morning All, Response has been positive about a production run of two hundred v7.0 SoftRock kits with kit delivery starting May 8. This is the SoftRock version that uses the I7SWX/VK6APH mixer design to convert RF signals to I/Q audio output. The kit will include the PCB, and all parts on the board but not include any of the external wiring such as the stereo audio cable. Please see Bill's website, http://ewjt.com/kd5tfd/sdr1k-notebook/sr40/sr7/index.html, for a view of what the production v7.0 board will look like and his beta v7.0 performance measurements. Additionally, Bodo, DJ9CS, has posted in the Photos area of this website a PowerSDR screen shot of a beta v7.0 SoftRock running with a calibrated input signal. Circuit boards will go on order this morning and orders for some of the integrated circuits have already been placed. Parts that might have delayed kit shipments beyond May 8 were found in stock and have been ordered. I am trying to determine what crystal frequencies can be included with the kit to make the receiver most useful in the 10m IF application. Two crystals will be included in the kit, 28.224 MHz and a second frequency to be determined in the next few days. Feedback on what frequency would be most useful and/or a lead on where I could order that crystal would be very helpful. Additionally, if there is interest in using the v7.0 on one of the higher HF ham bands, I will be able to substitute a crystal for that band in place of the 10m crystals. PayPal orders may be placed starting today with payment directed to my e-mail address, raparks at ctcisp.com (put @ in for the word at). The v7.0 kit price will be $18 for US/Canada and $19 for DX with kit mailing cost included in the kit price. Payment may also be made by check or money order to me at: Tony Parks 1344 E 750 N Springport, IN 47386 USA Thanks and 73, Tony KB9YIG ------- Forwarded message ------- From: kb9yig <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [softrock40] SoftRock v7.0 production now scheduled Date: Fri, 21 Apr 2006 06:44:06 -0400 raparks at ctcisp.com -- Roger Rehr W3SZ http://www.nitehawk.com/w3sz/ ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <linrad@antennspecialisten.se>.
