Re: unknown Softrock module
Good Morning Group,

Looking through built receiver boards on the back shelf I find one that might be of interest to someone. The built 3.5 inch x 2 inch HF receiver board is for the frequency range of 4 MHz to 8 MHz. It is basically a single range RX II receiver but is powered by the 5 volt USB voltage. The receiver kit was developed for use by students, several years ago at the University of Toronto, in an EE lab for students to build and measure performance. Powering the receiver board by only the USB 5 volt supply does result in more center frequency noise, "Christmas tree" pattern, about 5 kHz each side of the center frequency. As I type this I am listening to this receiver board on the 40 SSB segment of the band. If any interest in this HF receiver the price is $40 which will include postage to a US buyer.

If you still have the Delta 44 sound card interface module, I'll take that. I assume that is the sound card itself and not just the interface? TNX! Bob WA1EDJ On Thu, Jul 29, 2021 at 10:41 PM Robin Midgett <K4IDC@...> wrote:

Re: Older SoftRock Kits Available
With the waning availability the Softrock kits, I would like to alert the group to a Softrock replacement.
The HobbyPCB RS-HFIQ. It covers 80-10M, including WARC bands, has 5W output on TX comes fully assembled and tested, interfaces to PCs and Raspberry PIs much the same way the Sofrock does. While it's a little more expensive than a single Softrock, it's about the same if you buy enough Softrock's to match the capability. Technical info here: The project tarted as a Kiskstarter Campaign on 2017 and has developed a substantial user base. 73, Jim WA2EUJ |

I would like to claim one of the $10 Lites. Because they are all same except crystal & coils. I will let you pick band based on other request. Bruce Randall NT4RT -----Original Message-----
