[linrad] Fwd: [softrock40] SoftRock v7.0 production now scheduled

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,

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:

Thanks and 73,
