(tr)uSDX 9 bands version upcoming?

[it9hre]

Dear (tr)uSDX Team,
first and foremost thank you for your great job!
I've a question for you about the (tr)uSDX project.
From the "Overview" section of your website I read that:
" The (tr)uSDX is a 5-Band / Mulitmode QRP Transceiver in Pocket Format (90x60x30mm – 140g). It features a highly efficient Class E PA and Supports CW/LSB/USB and AM/FM. Right now it covers 80/60/40/30/20m and in Future there will be support for 17/15/12/10m as well"
What does this really mean? Maybe are you working on a future 9 band version?
Actually I'd like to buy the current kit, but I am undecided whether or not to wait for a version that supports more than 5 bands....
Thanks In advance for your kind attention.

Hello,

The radio only supports 5 bands, but 3 different band plans are available, but the RF board needs different components to support that. You cannot currently get kits or assembled units with the different band plans configured as all the values are not confirmed yet.

It really means, like Jim pointed out, that you can exchange or modify the RF PCB to use it on alternative Bands. Firmware Supports that now, Theoretical and some practial RF Section Values have been published, however: Only 5 Bands per PCB are possible, because the Form Factor has been set and I will not change it in near future. We´re not working on a 9 Band Version.
Please read https://dl2man.de/2-trusdx-assembly/ for more details of how "Alternative Bands" Work.
