Hey Lou,

The FA-SDR-TRX is only available as a Kit. However, all SMD parts are premounted on the PCB. So no SMD soldering is necessary.

Hey Kees,
it seems you have problems with your USB connection. In the first instance I think it’s a driver problem. Did you follow the instructions?
I suggest to have a look on the USB traffic between the FA-SY and your PC. I can recommend “usbsnoop” and “SniffUsb2″. Both programs will let you trace the traffic over your USB port.
In case there is no traffic via the USB port I would conclude that it is a hardware problem.

I have build the FA-SDR tranceiver but have problems with the FA-Syn module.

If I connect the USB it says: device not recognized.

This message is on 3 different laptops, when I try to reinstall driver, this not help either.

On the same pc’s LP-Pan with Power-SDR works without problem.

Maybe FA-Syn is broken?

( I also tried power from USB and seperate power supply).

Hey Andy,

I’m happy if the information is valuable for you. I think the author of the kit, Harald DL2EWN did a terrific job with the SDR kit design. With this article series I want to give him full credit and spread the word.
73 & enjoy SDR,

Dear OM

I have realized and combined 2 kits from FUNKAMATEUR (SDR 40 and FA SY 10-165 Mhz) to obteint a simile multiband receiver, and now I am interrested by the FA-SDR-TRX but I have a problem like a lot of OM in the world, I dont read the German language… and after asking FUNKAMATEUR I cannot obtain a notice in French or English language. I am very pleased to read some explanations on your site.
I encourage you to persevere.

Hey Ross,

for sales outside of the European Union the German VAT can be excluded (usually 19% VAT). I just estimated the shipping costs on http://www.dhl.com:
A parcel with a total weight below 2kg and physical dimensions (length + width + height) below 90cm costs 13,90€ which are roughly 20 USD. For a shipping insurance you would have to add 21,10€ (29USD). Please note, that these are just rough estimations.

For a proper quote I suggest to contact the Funkamateur staff via email at shop@funkamateur.de

73 & enjoy SDR,
Tobias
