JF2SQB's WEBLOG

Dear OM

my name is Nick, VK1AA from GenesisRadio.com.au

Here is a piece of information that may be of interest to your
website / blog visitors:

We have just introduced our first QRP SDR KIT, GenesisG40.
http://www.genesisradio.com.au/G40/
It is a through hole kit for a 5 Watt output 40 Meter all mode SDR (Software Defined Radio) transceiver.
It consist of 380 electronic components! But the G40 is easy to build KIT
and fun to operate because we have support Group to help builders assembling the kit
Also we have prepared an assembly pictorial
at http://www.genesisradio.com.au/G40/1assemblyG40.html
for novice builders.

The price of G40 KIT is very affordable - only US$149 plus US$9 for air mail postage to Japan.
In just 3 weeks, we have sold G40 to HAM customers in
Australia, US, Russia, Croatia, Ireland, Serbia, UK, Holland, Philippines, Italy, Slovenia and Canada!

G40 is generating lots of interest and here is an unsolicited comment about our KIT
published on QRZ.com made by Ed Hare W1RFI, ARRL Laboratory Chief Engineer:

The purpose of these sorts of kits is to be a platform from which Amateurs can do experimentation in software-defined radio. With SDR, experimentation consists of writing better software for modulation and demodulation of signals. One can do this with multi-thousand dollar radios, or spend as little as $40... I looked at the schematics for this one (Genesis G40) and was quite impressed at what they were able to do for a very affordable price. On paper, it looks like a good balance between cost, complexity and simplicity"

Thank you kindly for your time and
should you need more information please email me anytime.

PS We also have new models coming out very soon: a 30m+20m duobander and ALL-BAND 10W version.
