Hey, Cecil........ I went to the link at the end of your message. The site seems a bit sparse. I did learn of Soft Rocks a while ago, but it memory serves, it seemed like the project was sort of going into a sleepy mode.
Tell me where to look for specific thingies like pricing for additional frequency bands, any goals for power out like perhaps 10 or 50 watts, development goals, software/GUI, typical ops. I saw the subdirs that incuded articles but I'm looking for what the info would be NOW. Is there a specific window through which orders can be placed, other than what's shown on the site? Where are all the units that have been sold? If they're on the air, sadly, I've never run across one. I wonder if my questions only show me to be a bit of a simple "digital mushroom" or something? Now, that said, if I missed something at the site I just visited, forgive me. I'm interested....

Right now in beta phase is the SoftRock 6.1 RxTx transceiver that will soon go in production, it features 2 bands 80M & 40M and outputs approximately one watt of power. The cost will be $32 and orders will be taken early next year. There is a Yahoo group where all things SoftRock is discussed, it the SoftRock40 group. -- Cecil KD5NWA www.qrpradio.com www.hpsdr.com "Sacred Cows make the best Hamburger!" Don Seglio Batuna
