fundamental-mode crystals required to move the SoftRock-40 to 30 meters. After completely selling out of the original 100 I had, I was able to obtain several hundred more. This means that there are now enough for ALL SoftRock owners (including those with pre-AmQRP kits) to have on-hand a crystal or two for 30m. Due to the large quantity purchased, I am able to maintain the same price. (just recouping some of the expenses.) If you are interested, you may order using the instructions below. PayPal, or a check to my address listed at QRZ.com is OK. Just drop me an email if you are sending payment through the mail, so I can reserve crystals for you. 73, Bruce, N1RX -----Original Message-----
From: Bruce Beford [mailto:bruce.beford@...] Sent: Saturday, September 24, 2005 6:57 PM Subject: SoftRock40 on 30M- Success! Crystals available now. Hello all. I have successfully converted a SoftRock40 for use on 30M. Two capacitors need to be changed from their original values, and a new oscillator crystal installed. Capacitors C6 and C7 (ver. 4.0 designators) are changed from their original 100pF to 33pF. The crystal is changed from its original 28.224 to 40.500 Mhz. The original crystal still works with the new capacitor values (in two units here). (I had tried this before, and didn't think it worked, but my experiment was flawed. It is working now.) I have available a quantity of the 40.500 Mhz crystals required. These allow nearly full coverage of the Amateur 30M band with the SoftRock receiver. As I announced earlier, I am making these available to all. The price for US delivery is $2.00 for one crystal, $1.50 each for quantities of two or more. For foreign addresses (including Canada) the price is $2.50 for one, $2.00 each for two and up. You may send payment via PayPal to bruce.beford@... I will fill orders on a first-come, first served basis. Any questions? Email me direct, and I'll answer as best I can. 73, Bruce N1RX |
