QuickSilver QS1R

Phil has published today his SDR receiver, QS1R, price. From the discussion group:

QS1R VERB (QS1RC): $799 + S&H
VERB Enclosure (ENCL): $120
Ultra Low Noise Encode Clock Option (ULNEC): $80

Enclosures will be available end of february but you can order them now at 75 USD.

From Europe, the dolar-euro exchange rate is quite good so the price seems convenient looking also to their characteristics and that the QS1R is fully assembled and tested. Price is slightly higher than the SDR-IQ from RFSPACE (499 USD) or the USRP, GNU Radio (700 USD).

Documentation is still lacking (I guess it will be in the next days with the order page). Software is available with any SVN client from the repository.

Available photo is from hardware revision B. The C revision (the one that actually will be shipped) will include a SD card for configuration.

Hello world!
