[Lowfer] $20 dds generator on ebay

[Paul Daulton]

On ebay I found a DDS generator that may be of interest to the lowfer and qrp group. 

Item 200608274325 is a dds function generator from 0-5mhz. Vendor lists other models for 0-2mhz and 0-3mhz. It will generate sine,square, and sawtooth waves. Apparently it is assembled and comes with lcd display. 

As a signal source it should be useful at lowfer frequencies. For qrper's it could be used as a vfo or signal generator. If the 5.0 mhz is a limitation one could apply a SBL-1 as a freq doubler and have 0-10mhz. 

Price, buy it now, is $19.34 usd. However shipping is $44.00 if I did the conversion from pounds to dollars right. I emailed the vendor and got a manual as a pdf attachment to an email. 

I would enjoy some discussion of this item, check it out and let me(and the group) know your thoughts.
