The Cross Country Wireless SDR Receiver is a compact high performance HF software defined radio receiver designed to be used in fixed or portable stations.

It has a choice of two internal crystal oscillators or an external VFO input, it's got good RF filtering (high and low pass filters similar to our VHF/UHF filters) before the front end and it's optimised for use with any stereo input sound card so you won't need to buy an expensive sound card to use it.

The 40 / 30m version has centre frequencies of 7.057 MHz and 10.125 MHz.

The 30m version has a narrower front end band pass filter and centre frequencies of 10.125 and 10.140 MHz.

The 80m version has centre frequencies of 3.580 and 3.668 MHz. An optional frequency of 3.515 MHz is available.

The 500 kHz version has a centre frequency of 500 kHz so a 48 kHz sound card will cover 476 to 512 kHz.

The 455 kHz version has an offset centre frequency of 460.5 kHz and reduced audio gain so that it can be used as a SDR panadaptor on existing receivers or transceivers fitted with a 455 kHz IF output.

Using a 48 kHz sound card, SDR software can tune +/- 24 kHz from the centre frequency.

Features include:

• High performance software defined receiver

• Dual band 40 / 30m or monoband 30m, 80m, 500 kHz or 455 kHz versions

• Two crystal oscillators and an external VFO input

• RF band pass filter in receiver front end

• Optimised for low cost stereo input sound cards

• Minimum signal detectable is better than -127 dBm with a 48 kHz 16 bit sound card

  

• Expensive sound card not required for operation

• Compatible with SDR software designed for Softrock receivers (Rocky, PowerSDR, WinRad, M0KGK SDR, CW Skimmer, SDR-Radio)

• No surface mount components

• Supplied built, aligned and tested with a detailed specification sheet

• Power requirements 7 to 25V current consumption 60 mA

• Meets CE specifications for EMC, RoHS and WEEE

• Built to last with high grade components in a tough ABS case

• Supplied with connection details, circuit, instruction manual and sample software on a CD

The SDR Receiver is now available built and tested at a price of £49.95 + £ 7.00 international postage.

We can also provide the SDR Receiver as a built and tested PCB ready to include in your project or fit into an existing case for £35.00 + £7.00 international postage.

Special frequency requirement? IF pan-adaptor? Beacon receiver?

We can now provide the SDR Receiver built and tested for any spot frequency in the 400 kHz to 15 MHz range suitable for use as an IF pan-adaptor, to add SDR features to an existing receiver or for a beacon or station monitoring receiver.
A custom made crystal will be ordered from Quartslab for the required frequency and the receiver will be built and aligned for the specified operating frequency.
The typical time from order to dispatch will be 4 weeks depending on the crystal production time (typically 3 weeks).
When ordering please specify the receiver centre frequency that you require and the sound card sampling rate (48, 96 or 192 kHz) so that we can calculate the correct crystal frequency and set the receiver audio response to match your sound card.

The price of the SDR Receiver made to special order is £59.95 + £7.00 international postage.

You can order by Paypal in your local currency (prices shown are in GBP)...
