U3S kit : Synth kit arrived without the SI5351A ! what can I do?


 

Hi Guys,

After 2 month waiting I was very happy to get my U3S kit.

As I am going into building it, I found out that the Synth kit arrived, but the SI5351 IC was not included - not free and not installed.

See images.

Did it happen to any of you ? Any idea how to resolve it ? ( I wrote to the "sales@..." but I guess they are overwhelmed by so many emails.....

Thanks




 

Hi Gur

I did receive the email you sent me but that was on Saturday, and I have not so much chance to reply to all my emails during the weekend. Many have to wait for Monday (today).?

I will answer your email now. But basically - this is a manufacturing defect, and I will get a replacement Synth sent to you as soon as possible (without waiting in line for QCX shipments).?

Hi Gur

No, *I* am feeling bad at the inconvenience this mistake causes for you!

Now I am going to contact the PCB factory with your photo, and beat them with it, and try to make THEM feel bad also :-)

I'm very glad when I buy something from QRP-Labs because Hans is always available and quick to assist us for any kind of problem. This is a great thing nowadays!
Thank you, Hans!

You can also still use the board.
Grab some Si5351a IC`s and maybe solder it in.
I found flux and solder wick works perfectly but check for solder bridges.
This place is pretty good pricing as well and fast free shipping -

Hello Roberto / QRP Lab folk,

If anyone in the UK gets a bare synthesizer board they do not want to
try and use I am happy to buy one or more and cover postage as I have
a few experiments in mind! Thanks.
