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.

Thanks,
Tony, kb9yig

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

That's been claimed already.
No, just the interface, not the sound card.

If you still have the Delta 44 sound card interface module, I'll take
