Good Morning All, Orders for the v8.0, v8.1 and v8.2 versions of the Lite+Xtall kit have gone well beyond the number of kits available. I would like to convert the excess orders to the v8.3 Lite+Xtall kit if it is ok with kit buyers. I will contact people individually concerning orders beyond what I will be able to fill within the next few days.
A v8.3 kit with synchronous QSD clocking is in the works that has the same size board as the v8.1/v8.2 but provides a jumper option to use either the CMOS version of the Si570 or the LVDS version of the Si570. The v8.3 kit will include the FIN1002 and all other parts that mount on the circuit board except the Si570 device. (If a CMOS Si570 is used on the v8.3 board, the kit builder will omit a resistor, the FIN1002 part, and will solder in a jumper wire.) The v8.3 Lite+Xtall kit should be available at Dayton time and the kit will be priced at $26 US/Canada and $27 for DX where mailing costs are included in each kit price. Included with each kit will be four BPF kits to provide the band combinations 160m, 80m/40m, 30m/20m/17m, 15m/12m/10m. (Excess orders for a v8.0, v8.1, or v8.2 kits will not require any additional payment when converted to a v8.3 kit.) Thanks and 73, Tony KB9YIG
