Fw: [The122GProject] Update #4 Finally some pricing :)

 

Want a QRP project that is totally different???

VK3AC, VK2XAX and other Aussies have been busy with the next generation design of a radio for 122 and 134GHz.? It's based on a chip originally designed for auto radars, but with an added antenna can have range of many miles.? Hundreds of hams around the world are using the previous generation board.? Basically what you need are the loaded board, a feed horn and that dish from your roof with the Direct TV logo.??

Also a receiver for 144 MHz.? That could be a multi-mode radio or an inexpensive receive only SDR dongle and a laptop.

At this time, people are placing orders.? Shipment is probably summer of 2025.

FYI, the world record for amateur contact on 122GHz is held by locals using the earlier chip.? Mt Vaca to Mt Umunhum on a day with very low humidity.

Hi all,

Good news, we have pricing :)

Made board = $419 USD

PCB only = $3 USD

Conical Horn = $42 USD

Chaparral feed = $21 USD

IMU Horn = $21 USD

Coupler = $10 USD

Current Estimated lead time is 31 weeks from order placement. This is due to the OCXO being a bit special and having a lead time on supply of 29 weeks.

So... Lets all have a think about our requirements and let me know if you want to adjust your interest quantities.

Interest sheet is here...

I'll get a last quote in the first week of February to cater for any changes in quantities but I don't expect the pricing to change too much.

cheers

Tim
