New HF Rig?

Go here to see a new HF rig being developed.

    http://www.hilberling.de/produkte/pt-8000a.htm

I think the price will be around USD 13 to 14,000 !

 

The blue one is cool.

They are cool looking, too bad I can't read german...

 

why all the knobs, lights, and wizz-bangs? why not control it from a PDA and a serial cable? (RS232, USB...)

or one (maybe two better) ideas, add an ethernet port, control it from a network/workstation, or a Blackberry device, 802.11x, IR,.

Make it a TRUE SDR.

 

I don't even want to imagine what German technology and engineering would cost for such a thing.

Sure is pretty though.

 

Now that is a cool stealth idea.

 

I do read German and this looks like a cool rig! Gotta cost a bundle, though. Thnaks for the tip.

How much?

 

Ach du liber ( So my German is not goot yah !? ) say if they decide to convert the German Marks to US Bucks wonder who will be the first kid on the block to own this rig ?? Besides getting a FCC Certification on this, the ARRL Tech and Spec guys to rate it and maybe at the 20XX Daytonvention ? ok so drool and don't get your keyboard all wet gang !

 

wow

 

Hi droolers,

Looks good to me, the solid state version of an old Hallicrafters 1KW (input) tranceiver, too bad I forgot the model number. The guy(s) who like restoring boatanchors should consider this one.

Forget the "leenyar" and go for the gold! Well, that is unless you happen to have a Collins S Line station with a KWS-1 amp. (;-&gt

S-Line with either a 30S-1 (2Kw) or 30L-1 (1Kw). The KWS-1 was not an amp...it was the complete transmitter that matched the 75A-4.

they would have to get it FCC Certified B4 allowing it to be sold in the US and really who has that kind of money anyway ?

 

Same people that have the money to buy the Yaesu and Icom $10,000+ rigs!

And I AIN"T one of them.................especially with 7 kids, 5 still at home
