Hi Manuel,
we had a QSO today during the OQRP Contest . I saw the video of DL1DN. How can I order and what is the price with shipping ? Maybe there are other Hams, ordering a large Number of KITs ?
That KIT is incredible. I´ve got 3 QCX from Hans Summers. I see you´ve been working together ?

Re: how to buy the KIT in Germany ?
Hello Matthias,
yes, I recognize your callsign. Thanks for the QSO ! It was done with the (tr)uSDX on my Side.
Here´s one Video while I contested:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nw6g6nkmpHM
Unfortunately I don´t have any kits left, and I have no Idea if I will do another Batch as group buy.
The problem is:
The group buy alone is a lot of work.
Together with setting up all the documentation, guiding the guys who build it, setting up this forum etc. I cannot do it.
So I was hoping, that someone else could organize a german group buy.
There will be european group buys, and there are even commercial parties that showed interest in this design.... If you want it now, you´d have to take care for yourself, and order PCB´s and parts according to my Guide.... But if you do that, you could order more and provide a german group buy

When do you think we can see the (tr)uSDX commercially available?
It seems that the target price for the indivudual its unnobtanium. Group buys are closing due to lack of components or the trouble of organizing one.
Please point us to the right direction.

So, the concept from Manuel and Guido is to make the (tr)usdx available, but they are not buying or selling it. As per the DL2MAN website, there will be a Trusted Seller scheme to avoid poor quality designs but neither Manuel or Guido plan to develop it themselves commercially.
Group buys are not difficult to organise (I have done one). They just need a little bit of time and effort. There are plenty of alternative components available.

Re: how to buy the KIT in Germany ?
I am trying to organize to order a few for some friends and me. 5 pieces so far. I am not sure yet whether this can be expanded into a group buy, as I have difficulties sourcing some parts and finding alternatives. If I make progress, I'll let you know. Maybe a group buy is possible then.

Re: how to buy the KIT in Germany ?
Hi Dieter,
if you expanded, I would apply to get on your list
I've built two sandwiches before and organized another kit for a friend.
So all good things are three.
I liked the Mouser-shopping-list Manuel set up for the old versions. It was really easy to organize a small amount of kits. The assembly at JLPCB is quite expensive if only a few kits are needed.
But no complains here, setting up these lists is a big piece of work, especially if you try to limit the amount of costs and suppliers. Been there, done that, it was nasty. With little to no experience,
I also ended up with the wrong part sizes
What parts are you having problems to find?

Hello Dieter DL1DBY,
I am also interested in one or two samples.
Please add me on the list.
Thanks, regards Martin DO1ZYM
