The official announcement came down today!
"Finally, I have a firm date on all the parts needed for the return of the PFR-3 radios, which will now be known as the PFR-3A. Steve redid the board and fixed some minor glitches that were bugging him. The board has new software that is NOT backward compatible to the PFR3. It is different because the new board required it. So no, you don't need to upgrade your software in your atmel chip.
The kits will be ready to ship the first week of December. Now the bad news, I have to take a price increase of $25. There is a special offer for anyone who orders between now and Dec. 1st. I will honor the old price of $200 for the kit. The price will officially change on Dec. 1st. So if you are thinking of ordering, don't hold off, so you won't be hit with the price increase. You may order by going to the website and clicking on the PFR3 picture. Dean will keep everything the same on the pricing until Dec. 1st. Steve will have the new manual up in a few days, well before the kits ship.
Thank you again for your incredible patience and support on a great Steve Weber design. 72, Doug"
Just the news I was looking for! And just in time for Winter building season!

ReplyDeleteLarry. I guess that's good news for you but sorry to hear that you're having such a long wait for it. I know how frustrating that can be.
ReplyDeleteHave fun building it!
