QR2S is 30m band QRSS transceiver. It consist of high dynamic single conversion<\/span><\/div>\n
receiver with switchable HD RF preamplifier and crystal bandpass filter of 450 Hz,<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
demodulator with I\/Q output. Transmitter comes with oven controlled xtal oscillator (OCXO), tunable center frequency<\/span> and microcontoller- adjustable power output in range of 1.2 mW – 1.5 W. Operating mode: CW (variable dot), DFCW and ‘graphic’ mode.QRQ CW ID. PC controlled via uC (osc temp adjustment, power out, cent freq, modulation) After initial setting with provided application, QR2S is stand-alone RX\/TX unit. QR2S is through-hole\/ SMT hybrid kit. Component count 350+<\/span><\/div>\n
Price estimate\/target: US$ 149 plus $18 air mail delivery worldwide.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Kit status: PCBs and majority of components are in stock, beta test OK. <\/span><\/div>\n
Estimated release date: end of March 2010.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Pre-orders welcome! If you wish to reserve your QR2S (no payment required yet!)<\/span><\/div>\n
please email <\/span>info@GenesisRadio. com.au<\/span><\/a> By registrating your interest in this project <\/span>you will help us estimate number of kits for the first production run.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Physically, QR2S PCB is just a touch smaller than G3020.<\/span><\/div>\n
This time we went for blue color soldermask.<\/span><\/div>\n
You will also notice significant improvement in component layout\/silk- screen print<\/span>!<\/span><\/div>\n
And for the first time our board has bottom silk screen as well \ud83d\ude42<\/span><\/div>\n
Bat Masterson is seasoned PCB designer<\/span> and I am extremely pleased to have him on Genesis team!<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Of course, once more units are build and tested in coming weeks, our web page will be updated with photos, screenshots and assembly manual.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I believe Genesis QR2S is the first QRSS-dedicated transceiver and I hope it will provide great platform for everyone interested in homebrewing, experimenting, QRSS mode or just kit building.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
As always, thank you for your patronage.
