Several years ago, I came out with a set of extender boards for the TR7. They consisted of a board set for each specific card. One for the Audio/IF, another for the power supply/osc board, etc.?

They weren’t big sellers, and thus I never made the set for the bottom cards. However, although not shown in the photos here, I did make a ‘bridge’ board to connect the cards necessary to run the transceiver without the DR board.

I will have to check the shop, but I think I have some of the bare/blank pcbs for the bridge board, maybe for some of the other ones, too.

These are expensive to make as they are large double sided pcbs to begin with and they are extremely labor intensive to assemble.?

Why is that? You ask?

Due to supply issues, sometimes you can get the 15 pin connector, so you need to use three 5 pin connectors. Oops, you can’t get the five pin connectors, then you need four 3 pin connectors and a 2 pin connector. They all mate and match, so that’s not problem. It’s the jigsaw way you need to assemble the boards. It would really be nice to simply order the correct part.

If there is enough interest, (10 people for min pcb run) I can have another short run made.

That would be for 7 board, what is shown below and the bridge board.

NO connectors, $50 +$10 shipping priority mail.
