Good Afternoon All, I have been talking to Tom about being an additional source for the CMOS version of the Si570. Since Mike Collins' test of a v8.1 Lite+Xtall board show good receiver performance with the CMOS verison of the Si570, I will also be providing that device along with kits as follows:
When purchased as part of an XTALL v1.1 kit or a Lite+Xtall v8.3 kit, the price of the device is $16 US/Canada and $17 for DX. This will make the price of the XTALLv1.1 kit with the CMOS Si570 device $28 for US/Canada and $29 for DX. The price of the Lite+Xtall v8.3 kit with the CMOS Si570 device will be $42 for US/Canada and $43 for DX. When purchased as not part of a kit purchase, the price of the CMOS Si570 device will be $17 US/Canada and $18 for DX. These prices for the CMOS Si570 are due to a larger quantity purchase of the device and part of the savings are passed on to kit buyers. Tom will continue to be a source for the LVDS version of the Si570 device. Thanks and 73, Tony KB9YIG
