Yoyodyne Consulting/SR63ng

The SR63ng is a near clone of Tony Parks' recently retired SR63 RXTX board. The board has the same physical dimensions and connector registration as the original. It differs from the original in the use of surface mount components (SMT) rather than axial leaded resistors/caps.

The SR63ng does differ from the original in that it does not support the Rocky serial port interface. The SR63ng can be used as a stand-alone system with the addition of Tony Parks' PA/BPF/USB-I2C.

::Note::
This card was created to support the MOBO-4.3 system and not to compete with Tony Parks excellent Softrock series of cards.

Logbook

Jun 21,2012
- Unfortunately I had to increase the kit price to cover cost increases.
Aug 05,2011
- INFO ONLY: Stock has dropped to under 40 kits.
Mar 14,2011
- Circuit boards shipped via Fedex and scheduled to arrive on the 16th. Orders will ship beginning on the 17th
Mar 2,2011
- All parts have arrived and have been place in the poly bags. Hopefully the circuit boards early next week and I can start taking orders
Feb 18,2011
- Si570 and circuit boards ordered. Due to a new pcb supplier there is a longer lead time, 12 working days.
Feb 7,2011
- Announced a new kit run on the MoBo and SDR-Widget list.
Dec 5,2010
- Inventory of kits has reached zero.
Nov 19,2010
- There are 9 kits remaining. If there is enough demand I will do another run in 2011. I am picking away at a 2m transverter daughter card for the 'ng. There is modest interest in the project.
Oct 14,2010
- Kit stock is approaching 30. It looks like this will be the last batch and once my stock is depleted I I will retire the kit.
Aug 31,2010
- Kit stock less than 50 and unless there is an uptick in orders I do not expect to do a third run of kits. Flemming Neilsen, OZ5AGK, was the winner in the draw for a Trimble Resolution-T card + antenna.
June 28,2010
- Stock update: There are still have 50 kits available. Purchasers will have their name entered in a draw for a Resolution-T timing card and active antenna
May 08,2010
- All outstanding orders have been filled and shipped. New orders will be filled from stock and shipped within 48 hours.
May 06,2010
- The Si570 clock has arrived and I will be shipping the kits over then next few days. Once I have filled existing orders subsequent orders will be filled from stock and shipped within 48 hours.
April 24,2010
- Finished packaging all components, approx 16,000 parts and 4000 polybags. Kitting will consist of a BOM pick list and a bubble mailer. I estimate it took 40 hours to cut labels, separate parts and pack in polybags. Some things you do for love, some for money and then there is this :)
April 23,2010
- Circuit boards arrived a few days earlier than expected. I hope to finish kitting for those who opted for 2 part shipping and have their kits in the mail April 26. Still no news about the Si570 shipping date from Silicon Labs.
April 21,2010
- All parts are in house except the pcb and Si570. Circuit board expected in 7+ days, Si570 arrival late May or early June.
