[Boatanchors] OT SDR TO GO

[rbethman]

ALL elements to go SDR.

Some do NOT have any desire to pursue this.

Others have indeed an expressed interest.

Save it, delete it, or take whatever action is desired.

FYI - The cost of this "package" is less than the ONE PA 250TH in my two 
AM TXs.

The RANVerter Pi continues on in the tradition of RAN Technology's highly
successful original RANVerter series of SDR Up-Converters.  Now, it 
needs no
external power supply -- it's powered by your computer's USB!

PLUS it's easier than ever to assemble, with solder-in sockets for the
oscillators eliminating the risk of accidentally overheating the chips 
during
assembly...and NO SURFACE MOUNT COMPONENTS!

Here's what you get in each RANVerter Pi SDR Upconverter Kit:

All discrete components, including capacitors, resistors, semi-conductors,
choke, and LED High quality double-sided printed circuit board with 
plated thru-
holes Standard mini-dongle/USB cable kit. (also available without kit) 
55 Mhz.
oscillator w/socket Oscillator-mixer w/socket On-off and bypass switches 
and
relay RCA and "F" type jacks. All other cables and connectors - 
Everything's
there! The RANVerter Pi is designed to enable the Raspberry Pi 
credit-card sized
Linux PC to become a versatile SDR radio server via any ethernet 
network.The
receiver can also be remotely located and controlled via ethernet and the
Raspberry Pi's GPIO pins.


The RANVerter Pi is an inexpensive way to give SDR a try, and with 
all-band,
all-mode coverage, it's a handy supplement to any shack.

NO SMT - EASY TO SEE - SIMPLE TO BUILD

Raspberry Pi 512MB - Model B 2.0 System Board What's in the box: 
Raspberry Pi
512MB Model B 2.0. in Static Bag

Product Description:

The design is based around a Broadcom BCM2835 SoC, which includes an 
ARM1176JZF-
S 700 MHz processor, VideoCore IV GPU, and 512 Megabytes of RAM. This 
revision
2.0 board features two mounting holes for easy installation, a built-in 
reset
circuit, and can be powered via the USB data ports. The design does not 
include
a built-in hard disk or solid-state drive, instead relying on an SD card 
for
booting and long-term storage. This board is intended to run Linux 
kernel based
operating systems.

*** NOTE: ARM Processor is the same used in Android phones and tablets. ***

The Raspberry Pi use Linux-kernel based operating systems. Debian 
GNU/Linux,
Iceweasel, Calligra Suite and Python are planned to be bundled with the
Raspberry Pi. The Raspberry Pi does not come with a real-time clock, so 
an OS
must use a network time server, or ask the user for time information at 
boot
time to get access to time and date info for file time and date stamping.
However a real time clock (such as the DS1307) with battery backup can 
be easily
added via the I2C interface.
