No response so far... I have one v8.1 Lite+Xtall board built with all components mounted on the board except the board needs a CMOS Si570. A stereo audio cable is attached to the board as well as DC power leads and a short lenght of antenna coax. Initial tests of the board show the 5 volt and 3.3 volt supplies come up properly, the current from a 12 volts power source is right, and the op-amps are at about 2.5 volts DC output as they shoudl be. All indications are that this board should play properly when a CMOS Si570 is mounted on the board. A 40m/80m BPF module is built and kits will be supplied for the 160m, 30m/20m/17m, and the 15m/12m/10m BPF modules.
I would like to send this built v8.1 Lite+Xtall to one of the people who put in an order for a v8.1 and who already has a CMOS Si570 to mount on the board. If none of the v8.1 kit buyers would like to have this built unt, then the unit is available to the first person who has a CMOS Si570 and would like to have the board at a price of $30. The price includes USPS priority mail to a US address and the unit can go in the mail on Monday, May 5.

(The v8.1 has synchronous clocking of the QSD circuit and is the model that Mike Collins reported on a few weeks ago.) This built example still needs a CMOS Si570 device to complete the kit but will have attached cables. If anyone has ordered a v8.1 Lite+Xtall kit and already has a CMOS Si570 would like to have this built example to fill their kit order, please let me know. The unit will be mailed on May 5 along with unbuilt BPF kits for 160m, 30m/20m/17m, and 15m/12m/10m. Thanks and 73, Tony KB9YIG
