[digitalradio] Softrock 40?

2007-01-20 Thread Andrew O'Brien
Is there a web site that one can go to and ORDER a Softrock 40 kit ?  
All I can find are dead links and outdated ones that refer to version 5.

Andy,
You send PayPal to Tony Parks when he says he has some.  He doesn't have 
a web site but he turns out thousands of kits and assembled boards 
quickly and extraordinarily cheaply.  I ordered a special v6lite on the 
K2 IF frequency assembled (have built a softrock40 myself already) and 
got it in my mailbox for under $30.

So, search the recent messages on the softrock40 yahoo group for Tony's 
posts.  I believe the current model is v6 txrx, the first that does tx.  
I think it is monoband but the next round will be dual band.

The TxRX is available in several models, but you can of course make 
changes to it.

160M only
80M and 40M
40M and 30M

The SoftRock V6.2 lite is available in a multitude of bands.

You either send a money order or what most do is send a Paypal payment.

See the email below;

Hi..

Lots of the SoftRock Lite kits are available for quick response to 
PayPal orders.

The v6 SoftRock Lite with the v6.2 circuit baord is a single-board receiver
kit
that provides single-band coverage with each kit. The board size is 1.5
inches
square and a height of about 0.6 inches.   Connections on the board
provide for QSD mute so the SoftRock can be used with a separate
transmitter.

A view of the of the earlier v6.0 SoftRock may be seen at

which gives a good idea of the general look of the SoftRock Lite board
except
the Lite is a square board.

The software may be download at no cost with a number of programs available
that will play the SoftRock receiver.  Please see:
