Re: kb9yig retirement
Hi Tony,
Thank you for your SoftRock radio designs. I have built your kits, gifted

Re: kb9yig retirement
I must also add a little word. I built my first SDR over ten years ago. It was based on the SoftRock plans (One oscillator, a 74AC74, a 4066 and a PC with a sound card).

Re: Looking to buy a 630m SoftRock RXTX transceiver
Hello Randy,
Did you mean a LF receiver, the LF Ensemble, or a transceiver, the RXTX. There was never a LF version of the RXTX sold.

Looking to buy a 630m SoftRock RXTX transceiver
If anyone has a spare 630m "Low Frequency SoftRock RXTX" transceiver they no longer need, I would be very interested in a purchase.

Re: kb9yig retirement
Tony,
Thank you for all that you have done. Your kits introduced me to SDR. It
