uSDX
Here we take a look at the uSDX+ Version 2 8 Band All mode HF Transceiver with Surprising Results!
it is optimized fromuSDX QCX-SSB open source hardware. The powerful software supports the use of less hardware to complete the SW transceiver and supports the SSB mode (reception quality is very good, transmission quality is slightly worse). In addition, the developer also developed an AM/FM mode for it, but AM/FM is defined as a gift function. Don’t expect AM/FM too high.
Support 8 frequency bands:
80-meter band (3.5MHz);
60-meter band (5.3MHz);
40-meter band (7MHz);
30-meter band (10MHz);
20-meter band (14MHz);
17-meter band (18MHz);
15-meter band (21MHz);
10m band (29MHz);
Specifications:
– Type: HF QRP SDR Transceiver
– Mode: SSB/CW
– Rf output: 10W max at 13.8V exit DC in
– Frequency range: 3.5-30MHz
– Built-in MIC
– Antenna/connector: 50ohms/SO-239
