FUNcube Dongle

Folks

Please note that we’re closed until 8 November, so although you’re welcome to order, shipments won’t be made until we return.

You can still order here.

Thank you for your custom!

Folks

Please note that we’ve added some new inventory for purchase today.

You can order here.

We have another production run in the pipeline too which should be with us in the next couple of weeks.

Thank you for your custom!

Folks

I’m glad to report that we have new stock after a few days of bare shelves here.

The global semiconductor shortage is still with us, although thankfully (touch wood) it’s nowhere near as bad as it was a few months ago. It remains rather a game of whac-a-mole fulfilling our parts requirements, and prices certainly aren’t showing any signs of reducing to their pre-shortage values, if anything it’s quite the opposite.

Meanwhile, I wish you all an enjoyable time over Easter.

Folks

We’re back in stock after a few weeks of empty shelves here: the last batch only lasted about a week, but hopefully this latest larger batch will last somewhat longer.

As previously mentioned, thankfully, the global semiconductor market is showing signs of recovery from its acute shortage problems over the past couple of years, so, with luck the recent stock shortages should be more unusual rather the being de rigeur as has been the case in recent times.

In the meantime, we wish you all seasons greetings, and a happy new year!

Folks

We’ve back in stock after a couple of weeks of limited supply.

Thankfully, the global semiconductor market has started to show some signs of improving from its acute shortage problems over the past couple of years. Although some supply issues remain, unfortunately we’re now seeing significantly increased pricing from device manufacturers, costs that we’re currently absorbing.

** The slow page loading for the payment portal that we were encountering should now be resolved.

Folks

I am now glad to report that we’re now back in stock.

The global semiconductor market continues to remain difficult, with traditional distribution channels still unreliable for parts sourcing.

** We’re aware of the shop pages loading and running slowly right now, we’re working on this: they do load, but anticipate a delay: apologies for any inconvenience.

Folks,

We’re anticipating new stock around the week beginning 15 March.

As you may be aware, there’s an ongoing global semiconductor shortage, and this situation combined with strong demand continues to make it challenging to maintain continual stock.

Many thanks , Howard

Due to those parts shortages, and the significantly increased costs on those parts as a result, for the first time since the FUNcube Dongle Pro Plus was released, we’ve taken the decision to increase the price to £149.99 excluding tax. This price increase will be from 1 January 2022.

Before 1 January 2022, you can still order at the original price of £124.99 excluding tax.

We’re happy to announce we have new stock available now. Please follow this secure link to order.

The global chip supply situation continues to disrupt our ability to maintain stock levels. While we continue to try to mitigate against this by ordering ahead, it’s a game of whac-a-mole: supply of devices is very sporadic. Moreover, we are seeing increasing evidence of speculative stockpiling of chips in the supply chain which severely distorts pricing.

Folks,

A combination of continued high demand and the global chip shortage has meant we’ve just run out of stock again.

We’re working with our board assembler to set up for another production run, and we nearly have all the parts ready. There’s just one part we’re waiting for confirmation on, (it’s sourced, we’re just organising the requisite paperwork as it’s a new distributor for us) then we’ll be in a position to schedule another production run in the next couple of weeks.

Many thanks , Howard
