FUNcube Dongle availability update

Folks

What with the phenomenal FUNcube-1 satellite launch success ten days ago(http://www.funcube.org.uk), Christmas orders and three large commercial orders all coming at once, demand for the FUNcube Dongle Pro+ is currently significantly higher than I anticipated.

Rest assured that if you are already on the waiting list, you will be invited to order well before Christmas. It you’d like to get on that waiting list, please register here.

Our last waitlist number to be invited to order was 3862, and there are currently 366 more people in the waiting list. When you receive an invitation to order, there are physical units in stock to ship immediately.

To give you an idea of the volumes we’re shipping right now, 173 units were shipped this morning. It was a busy weekend! As soon as the units come from the manufacturer, I test them and ship them, usually within a working day.

Thank you for your patience!

FUNcube-1 Satellite Launch

Folks,

Today I’m off to Bletchley Park, home of the National Radio Centre, where I’ll be joining the FUNcube team are coordinating early operations for the FUNcube-1 satellite, due for launch on 21 November at 07:10:11Z.

I’ll be returning on Friday 22 November, so please feel free to place your interest in the FUNcube Dongle receiver here. Manufacturing is currently running at full speed, producing around 100 units/day, so you shouldn’t have to wait long for your order.

Many thanks, Howard

FUNcube Dongle Pro+ inventory

Folks,

Over the past couple of weeks the demand for the FCD Pro+ has increased fairly dramatically, and in underestimating that demand I’m afraid we’re out of stock for the next week or two while we get the next batch finished.

Please feel free to register your interest here, and I’ll email you as soon as we have stock. I am still due a few more from the last batch from my board assembler over the next few days, so I’ll release these as they become available to those on the waiting list in order.

We don’t accept payment unless we have real stock on this website. However, retailers may not have the same policy, so I would suggest that you confirm stock level with your reseller to avoid disappointment.

Thank you for your patience!

Many thanks, Howard

Free shipping offer

Folks

I’ll be away for a few days next week (19 August to 23 August), so as there will be a short delay in dispatch, I’m currently offering free shipping until I return if you place an order before I return.

Make sure you check the “Free Shipping” check box when you checkout!

I will use the same shipping methods, ie FedEx International Priority for non-UK, and Royal Mail Special Delivery, just it’ll be free over that period.

Many thanks, Howard

FUNcube Dongle+ availability

Folks,

For some reason there’s been a lot more demand over the past few weeks than anticipated, so much so that we’ve exhausted our stocks. Although we already scheduled well ahead to manufacture another batch, they are not due until 12 July.

If you would like to order, please add yourself to the waiting list here, I will send you an email response when your unit is ready.

I do also have a very few left that are in final test that I’ll release over the next few days.

Many thanks, Howard

Article about the FUNcube Dongle Pro+

Folks,

Nils has very kindly sent me a link to an article he wrote recently about using the FUNcube Dongle Pro+ on the shortwave/HF bands. Here is the note he sent to me:

Dear Howard – recently I got two FCDPRO+ V2. I wanted to know how this SDR is doing on shortwave. The results were stunning. I filed them into a multimedia PDF (text, 40 screenshots, audio, video, hyperlinks) which you can download here:
http://bit.ly/15PCCa4
I show how to receive broadcast, amateur radio and utility, and how to decode digimodes from RTTY over SSTV-DRM to PACTOR-III with solely free software. The PDF is just meant as preview. If you like it, I would be proud to see it some day also on the official FCD page. I am convinced that FCD plus an approach to show what to do with it (and how attractive shortwave still is) will trigger much more interest.
Your critics & comments are welcomed! 73 Nils, DK8OK
