          Hi Steve,

          Thanks for your interest in the project! I have some small stock left to clear. So it will be probably available for
          week or two. After that will have the components kits from time to time. But will always have the blank boards in stock.

    Hi Chris,

    Can I order just the U1 board from the surface mounted kit with the LCD? I got both boards together and U1 programmed but the LCD was bad and of course I had soldered it in. Got it out with only two traces ripped up and it is probably salvageable but.

            Hi Alex,

            No problem to send to Ukraine, i did before. But the only other payment i can take is bank transfer. This would make the two boards
            very expensive, because i expect you to pay all charges (yours and mine bank). So extra 30 USD at least. Don’t you have a friend with
            paypal to buy for you ?

    Hi!

    I want to buy x5 complete kits. May I know about the speaker and the final MOSFETs? These MOSFETs are necessary for complete working of SDR kit. If so, then how and where I can get these. Is there any provision to play with software?

    Reply ↓
    1. m0nka Post author

      Hi,

      MOSFETs you can buy from reputable ham webshop, as Ebay ones are most probably Chinese fakes.
      Speaker from Farnell or any other that will fit your case. If you do QRP on lower bands, you
      can go with cheap IRF510’s instead of the Mitsubushi MOSFETs, the footprint on the PCB will
      take them.

      If you need more than one kit shipped via DHL, please drop me a mail at djchrismarc at gmail
      to talk.

    This is a really nice looking radio. I have obtained a case and several sets of pcbs and jut recently all the parts from a fellow ham.

    My question is would I be better off getting a set of rev 0.5 pcb’s and building them or just use the rev 0.4 boards I have. If i get a set of rev 0.5 boards are there a lot of differences in the bom? If it is just a few caps and resistors that wouldn’t be a problem.

    Do you have any information that lists what was changed from rev 0.4 to rev 0.5?

    Great project.

    Reply ↓
    1. m0nka Post author

      Hello Peter,

      The 0.5 revision incorporates mods and changes suggested by Clint and community. If you already have v 0.4
      you can build as it is and incorporate mods selectively. There are gradual improvements, but not that critical
      to upgrade. V 0.5 is not the last revision, there will be 0.6 as well…

    Hello Chris,

    when I order now a kit, will I get a rev 0.4 or rev 0.5? The order form is directly linked to the download page where all rev 0.5 information and links are posted.

    hello, Chris,
    my englisch is not perfect, i dosnt understand, what you mean with “MCHF COMPLETE KIT – Two boards populated with SMD parts,”. Does it mean, that you have equipt the bords with smd-parts bevor you send it?

      Hello Henry,

      Yes, two boards (UI and RF) with all SMD parts installed in the factory – by pick and place machine, then wave soldering. Also in the kit a LCD plus two plastic bags with extra parts – mostly through hole that you need to solder.

    Hi Chris !
    The Paypal order site looks that way that Paypal creates secretly an account with your data ?!
    The password request makes me a bit suspicous.
    I definitely do NOT want to have an Paypal account through the backdoor with an order so the question is if that is really the case here ?
    Cann you please give a short comment on this ?

    Cheers

    This evening, Gavin M1BXF brought his mkHF to our “Pye n Pint” night. It generated a lot of interest amongst our members, culminating in making two CW contacts from the pub garden, in the dark and with just a dipole thrown up into the tree!
    It impressed everyone so much that we ordered Five sets of boards there an then. I think we are going to be busy over Xmas!

    I had found the SDR Project by a notice in the db3om forum, where i frequently reads and write.
    I was positiv surprised, that the SDR developer move her focus to the ARM Cortex-M4F from ST, instead the microchip PIC mcu’s where tranditionaly used by Radio Amateurs or use a Raspberry-PI instead.
    Well, your design is amazing and i am interessting in to build such device too but the Display size is to small for me. How is the load of the mcu if this is operate? Is some capacity left to may support 800×480-16 Pixel Displays?

    1. m0nka Post author

      Hello Gerhard,

      Thanks for your interest. As for selection of ARM instead of Microchip, it is simple really. If i wanted to develop Xmas three controller, PIC would be a great choice, but for the mcHF… On a serious note, i love ARM instruction set and the beautiful core architecture. So easy and fun to use. I have used PICs before, they are great for a low power consumption. As for the Rpi – yeah, i could have used one, if i removed the clunky OS and use super loop firmware coded from scratch. But how do you fit the huge board in a small radio ? Just use the Rpi CPU on the UI board – it was not practical.

      As for the big LCD – i have tested 800×480 LCD, using 24 bit interface, 8 MB external SDRAM and F429 – it can paint the bandscope and nice
      emulated S-meter (like Kenwood 990), and that is pretty all of the CPU power gone. Maybe there will be some left if i code in ASM and optimize, but for this task Rpi would be better – as UI driver, and something else dedicated for DSP and audio only.

    I have single-contacts, they ar gives plugged in paper-strips. You can plug these of the contacts from
    the display and then can all soldert in the PCB.

    I missing the RF-Board with all other things. Can it be, that you send this later ?

      Hello Uwe,

      You are not supposed to solder a header socket for the LCD, it is not part of the BOM and has never been. In theory you can solder one, keep in mind those are very expensive due to the non standard pitch, also your UI board will no longer fit in the 3D case. But if you make your own case, then you can use it. Soon i will list some RF packs only for sale. Check my page from time to time (also i post on Twitter).

      Similar request- if you could post a “UI Parts Only” kit for parts for us that already have a UI board.

      Hello,

      To be honest no idea. If it is very computer intensive, might need external decoder. Anyway, not coded in the
      current firmware.

    Well, the cost of RF components author is already increased strongly. Well, but that’s a matter of conscience.

      Hello,

      I have switched from UI board only (179 components) to Full kit (179 + 339 components). You can always download both BOM files from the Hardware page and copy the order codes to your Farnell order. There is also much cheaper option building around 10 GBP discovery board and using stuff from your junk box. Hope this helps.

    Good day
    I wonder four things:
    a) If the transportation value to Brazil Zip Code 91900-240 , the Tranceptor QRP SDR kit , it is 10 pounds or if not , what value ?
    b ) If the recipient of this kit is broadband , covering long and medium wave or is exclusively for amateur radio bands ?
    c) if the bandwidth filter in the receiver is variable or only in pre-programmed widths ?
    d ) If you can put two kits in one package and declare the invoice only 1 ?

    Best regards

      Hi,

      Programming those MCUs in a socket is not needed. It was something we did with old generation chips (Microchip) years ago, but now all microcontrollers have USB bootrom, so it is a breeze to blank program on board.

      Hi,

      Shipping for one set (LCD+UI+RF) is 10 GBP, international, tracked and signed. I can usually send more items in single package,
      but two LCDs and 4 boards in one pack is not good idea, it is getting heavy and there is a chance for the LCDs to get broken during
      transport, so it best to order as two separate orders please.

      Hi, you can probably use different LCD, but will not match the UI board and the front panel. In theory you can add any LCD with QVGA resolution and similar size, and just update the LCD driver to support it. If you want it just as it is, please wait maybe another week, i will have the LCDs back in stock. 73

    more for the lcd.

    For hams who are not the quickest at building projects, it may be advantageous to only select one
    board and then build it up, and then order the next. It would be especially nice if your interconnect
    (cables and connectors) are not going to change between revisions, then we could order a board to build now that will have the less number of revisions on it, and when we have that one built up.
    in a couple months order the next board that would be your newer revision.

    For some people it may be worth it to pay a little extra on shipping to have this option.

    It is a very appealing little radio, in any case.

      Hi Artur,

      I have read that by carefully selecting the mixer switching chips it is possible to achieve 50 and 70 Mhz. This will also require the more expensive SI570 versions that can go higher than 160 Mhz. From software point of view this is 10 mins coding, but for VHF you need much better front end, pre-amps, filtering, etc. Also i see in KX3 they push the same final for 50 Mhz as well, but not sure how efficient is the whole thing in 1-50 Mhz range, requires real knowledge in analogue design to make this.

    It is the CDR TRX. Is it possible to write firmware for modulation

    or if you need to do TRV 28MHz/50MHz and 28MHz/70MHz

      Hello,

      I have an order for big quantity of UI boards, it will be here in one week time. Also the RF boards that i got yesterday are almost gone, will make another order and will have them in 10 days. Sorry about that. I did not expect such demand.

    arailabiltxy of boards: what a pity, now th UI board and LCD are available but the RF board is sold out! As the shipping costs to the outside of the UK is so high I waited for teh order of the RF board which was avaliable — last week? Now I can order the other baord and esseantila LCD but without the RF board the Transceiver is not complete. Is there a Chance when all three baords are avaliable at the same time???

    Hello Chris,
    For postage, I deselected the 4 GBP and selected international (6GBP), but I realized afterwards that it should be 10 GBP, therefore both must be selected, right? 6 is additional.

    I also see that you do not have RF board available anymore… for the same postage, I would prefer to wait for it.
    When will you have them again? Thank you!

    Cheers, Jose.

      Hi Jose,

      Yes correct, the base postage of 4 GBP will be included anyway, but covers UK recorded delivery only. So that is why for international need to add extra 6 GBP so total is 10 GBP(the international recorded cost). It is simple shopping cart plugin and this is the best i can do right now, sorry.

      RF boards i will have in hopefully one week time, as far as i get them will update the Order page.

    I was looking for the gerbers so I could create a solder mask to make the build quicker.

      Hi,

      Yes, i have some UI boards now, probably will update the site tomorrow as i am waiting for DHL to bring some LCDs as well. Those are the HY28B – dual interface version. The latest mcHF firmware supports all the three versions manufactured by hotmcu.com.

          Hi,

          If HY28A is detected on boot up, the SPI is used, if HY28B – the parallel is in use. There is no change of the location of the 16 bit parallel port pins on the three different LCD modules.

    I really like the idea of a kit (may be only the “hard to get” components) and suggest to introduce a list for people who want to buy a complete set of pcb´s / LCD and/or kits.
    May be this is then easiser for the designers to estimate the next pcb run ?!

      Hi,

      I will do this eventually, but wanted first to test few things that i was not sure are final, before order bigger quantity. Now i order in small batches only, hopefully soon.

      Hello Pedro,

      I need to do a little bit of tweaking still on the boards/schematics, to be sure all is ok. Doing very active
      testing with my friend Brian(G0JMI) and soon hopefully i can have a kit. So far i can offer the two boards, and
      have maybe 3-4 LCDs left. Please check the order page.

      Dobrý večer.
      Chcel by som sa informovať ohľadne stavebnice mcHF QRP. Chcel by som si ju objednať ako celok so všetkými súčiastkami a plošnými spojmi. Je to možné ?, ak áno čo by to stálo.
      S pozdravom KOČIŠ.

            Soon will be available on the Order page, but limited quantity, based on what i have prepared already for sending, to prevent long wait, like the last two weeks.
