FUNcube Dongle

Folks,

At the moment, the order page doesn’t allow you to enter a quantity of units should you wish to order more than one. This was originally due to the demand far outstripping the supply a couple of months ago.

Now we’re pretty much continually able to maintain stock, I looked at adding a Quantity option, but it’s proving rather more fiddly to implement than I expected due to the way the Paypal button adds shipping charges.

The same applies to non-UK VAT registered companies: if you are registered for VAT within the EU, you’ll need to send me your company and VAT details.

So, if you wish to order more than one unit, or you are registered for VAT in the European Union (not-UK) feel free to contact me at g6lvb ({at}) amsat.org and I’ll send you a Paypal invoice.

Many thanks, Howard

We’ll be travelling to the TAPR Digital Communications Conference on 15 September, returning early in the morning on Monday 19 September. You’re welcome to order directly from us as usual using the normal link. Of course, you’re also welcome to order from Martin Lynch too.

Orders received after 22:00UTC on 14 September will be dispatched on Monday 19 September.

Many thanks!

I have managed to get some units ready for delivery over the weekend that I’ve made available now (Monday 5 September).

Many thanks, Howard

Folks,

It looks like we have run out of stock for the first time for a few weeks. We’re awaitng a delivery from the manufacturer, and expect to have more stock available on Monday or Tuesday (5 or 6 September).

Martin Lynch have a few in stock still as I write this.

In the meantime I apologise for any inconvenience.

Many thanks, Howard

We’ve managed to keep stock – just – for a couple of weeks now. The inventory went down as low as 1 on two occasions but we’ve been working very hard on catch up.

As you may be aware, although you can purchase direct from this site, in addition Martin Lynch is also retailing the FUNcube Dongle for us, offering more payment options.

As we’re attending the Japan Ham Fair in Tokyo over the weekend, orders that we receive thorugh the FUNcube Dongle website from 25 August 0500UTC won’t be dispatched until Wednesday 31 August. Of course, this does not affect Martin’s ordering facilities that remain active throughout this period.

Many thanks, Howard

I am pleased to announce firmware version 18i, which includes a fix to clicking during streaming that some users have reported. Even if you did not knowingly experience the clicking, it will be advantageous in particular for any data modes such as receiving ARISSat-1 transmissions.

This release is currently in testing status, so any feedback is welcomed.

Firmware v18i

Many thanks, Howard

Folks

Finally, we appear to be in a position to maintain inventory! I thank everyone for their patience over the past few months while we’ve been busy trying to make enough to satisfy the demand out there.

Many thanks, Howard

Folks,

Any orders received after Thursday 4 August 0900UTC will not be dispatched until the following Monday (8 August).

Many thanks, Howard

We have some more units available for dispatch now.

Many thanks for your patience, Howard

As some people have found, we have exhausted the last supply. We have more units to test that should be available at (or before – I will post here if they are available earlier) 2 August 2100UTC. Even if units are made available earlier, I will keep some for 2100UTC.

Thank you, Howard
