Progress

  • 01-08-2009, I am in the process of closing this list. Emails with a request for confirmation are sent to anyone on the list. Once enough entries are confirmed I will order the boards, crystals and boxes. At that point I will also request for payment through paypal or bank transfer. Once payed the parcel will be shipped asap. Note that there is a considerable lead time especially for the crystals. Probably more than 5 weeks.

  • 05-08-2009, Many have already confirmed their entry on the list. Many thanks for that! I will give the remaining 7 unconfirmed entries a bit more time as it is holiday time afterall!

  • 30-08-2009, There are only 3 unconfirmed entries on the list remaining. I have been on a short holiday myself, but 4 weeks time to respond after the initial request for confirmation should be enough. I will order the parts in the next couple of days and keep you informed through this page!

  • 09-09-2009, All parts: PCB's, crystals and metal enclosures have been ordered. The prices for the parts have now been established. PCB-set: 68 euro, Crystal-set: 139 euro, BPF-box: 34 euro, Frontend-box: 10 euro. Next thing for me to do is to check for any changes in shipping costs with respect to last year. When the price of shipping is known I will issue PayPal payment request. Payment by IBAN is also possible. Just let me know if that is preferred! The factory lead time for the PCB-set is 3-4 weeks, for the Crystals also 3-4 weeks, the metal boxes have a lead time of 2 weeks. So hopefully I can begin pushing the boxes out of the door in 4 weeks from now if payment is received!

  • 12-09-2009, PayPal payment requests whave been sent out to most entries on the list. When the goods have arrived overhere and payment has been received, the parcel will be sent out as soon as possible. I expect the metal work to arrive within 1-2 weeks, so entries with only metal work will most likely ship first!

  • 22-09-2009, The metal work has arrived today and it looks good! In the next couple of days I will send out parcels to those that only ordered metal boxes.

  • 27-09-2009, The PCB's have arrived last friday! The have perfect quality. I have been busy over the weekend to prepare the parcels with just metal work and or PCB's for shipment. The next day or 2 I hope to be able to fill out the additional paper work for international shipments and send the parcels to their destinations!

  • 29-09-2009, The first 12 parcels containing PCB-set and/or metal boxes are sent to their destinations. Most of the remaining entries are waiting for the QT crystals to arrive.

  • 03-10-2009, The QT quartz has been delivered. I will be shipping the remaining parcels the next week.

  • 07-10-2009, Most remaining parcels have been shipped today to their destinations, 25 total!

  • 10-10-2009, The group-buy has closed, but I have just one PCB-set left. It is incomplete however. It is missing the frontend board. This would not be a problem for anyone just wishing the build the BPF assembly as a preselector for an SDR for instance. Also the frontend board can be home etched fairly easily with the layouts available on this website. Just send me an email if interested!

  • 01-11-2009, I am completely sold out now. All PCB-sets, Crystal-sets and metal boxes are sold!
