Many thanks to QRPer, Pete (WB9FLW), who writes:
QRPGuys has just introduced a new Multiband DSB Digital Transceiver for FT8.
At $40 it introduces a new price point for such Rigs as it includes band modules for 40/30/20 Meters! For those wanting to experiment with different Bands extra bare boards are available for sale.
The rig as it comes is crystal controlled for FT8 but fear not the main board includes connections for an external VFO. As an example one could use one of the very popular Si5351 VFO Kits and be able to QSY to operate the different modes available to the Amateur Community today.
Let the fun begin 🙂

Thanks so much for the tip, Pete! What a great little project!

Wow! What a great deal! An excellent way to be introduced to kits and FT8!
Agreed! It’s affordable and won’t require a rocket scientist to build. Their kits are always accessible and functional.

They need 10M or 6M versions for those who only have Tech licenses and want to try data.
