[NLRS] SoftRock Order Information

[Bill Davis Jr]

  GM All

  After over 10,000 SoftRocks have been ordered and shipped, Tony KB9YIG has as of today, developed a website for "on-line" ordering of SoftRocks. SoftRocks can only be ordered via this webpage.  KB9YIG.com

  Be aware that orders are only accepted for kits that Tony HAS IN STOCK. This means that the most popular kits, kits based upon the Si570 osc (Both receivers and RxTx transceivers) will require watching Tony's webpage for availability. The 570's are ordered in 100 piece lots and once the 570's are delivered, the kits go quickly.

  Both the all band v9 Lite receiver and the v6.3RxTx tranceiver (single band 160-10m) remain in production and will at least through the summer. Be aware that this is a CHANGE ... earlier the decision was to retire the v6.3RxTx, but the continued demand
for the transceiver was such that production was restarted.

  As of this morning, single band receivers and BPFilter/PA's for the v6.3RxTx were all that were in stock for shipping. As the 570's arrive I would guess they they would support both the v9 and v6.3RxTx orders until the 570s were depleated once again. The ability to obtain adaquate numbers of the Si570 oscillators in a timely fashion is the limiting factor and several 100 are ordered each month.

  Again .... KB9YIG.com is the place for SoftRock Orders

  I have no stake in the Tony's operations and only provide this information due to my long use and encouragement of those
wishing to experiment with SDR at low cost.
