Great concept. Radio firmware is “Beta”, no manual frequency adjust implemented “yet”, ALL band setting says “TUDO” <Portuguese>, RDS display is tiny and in red, hard to read. A sketch is available but not supported. Buyer beware.

Thanks for those insights David, very informative. I for one have no intention of buying one, certainly at that price! Drifter

Hello everyone.
The UI and control firmware that took by storm all these recent DIY or pre-built receivers based on SiLabs has been developed by PU2CLR Ricardo Caratti in Brazil. I'd be surprised if Portuguese was included in the UI code.
Ricardo keeps two Facebook groups, another Groups.io reflector and a GitHub repo for the project. It's got a lot of traction and love from other RF and programming experimenters.

Hi David
Does this mean you actually own one of these? If so, how do you change screens? Is there NR on it? Many more questions, but it certainly looks like this will be the way forward; Mmm 🤔 Drifter

It does look interesting. At 105 pounds it is almost $200 aud so not a cheap radio. That could get me a AR1780 and have chnage for dinner.

I initially thought you were a bit out with your conversion Paul, but then I realised you meant Australian dollars! Where can I buy this chnage, it sounds interesting 😊.

Okay, I suppose it was obvious really, I’ve ordered one! Will update after play next week. Drifter

Well somebody had to do it, and I do have a bad tendency for impulse buying!

There doesn't seem to any fine tuning less than 1khz which for SSB makes it useless. They are much much cheaper on aliexpress btw !

Never used AliExpress before, presumably there’d be import duties? Even so, certainly cheaper, thanks for that Dave.

Thanks. I am half tempted to grab one and see how it goes. Paul

Here in the UK there is now extra tax on top which is added at check out so that example comes to £72.95 I guess you'd pay some kind of import duty elsewhere or not but still a better price
