CTARC Indian Radio Kits - 7 Aug '20

DON'T GET BORED DURING LOCKDOWN! GET BUILDING...


INDIAN RADIO KITS: uBITX


The CTARC is organising an exciting construction project for interested club members:

A QRP HF transceiver covering the HF bands, with the following features:
  • Up to 10 watts PEP on lower HF bands, dips to 5 watts on 28 MHz;
  • SSB and CW modes;
  • Simple to build and align;
  • Minimal controls;
  • Based on Arduino Nano controller and a Si5351 for all local oscillators;
  • Double-conversion, superhet architecture
The cost of this HF radio transceiver is $209-00 (USD) = R3500-00 ZAR (at today's  exchange rates), excluding RSA taxes and VAT. The final costs  will be conveyed to purchasers on the kit's arrival in South Africa. We are hoping a bulk order will reduce these costs).

  1. The Main uBITX board;
  2. Main uBITX board with mounting hardware;
