QROlle II QRP-rig page
160, 80, 40, 30, 20, 17 meters SSB/CW QRP-rig.
Designed by: Olle Holmstrand SM6DJH (Analog) Nils Söderman SM5DEH / Torbjörn Strömberg SM7EOI (Digital)

Price for complete kit: SEK 4950.- (about EUR 500.-) For more Frequently Asked Questions . see below The frontpanel of the QROlle II. The back panel of the QROlle II. This is the back side of the rig with the analog boards A and B mounted to the back plate before going into the case. Looks nice doesn´t it?! Look here for building documentation. Analog, digital, alignement adjustment and mechanical assembly of the kit. Bygginstruktionerna finns här på Svenska. Frequently Asked Questions and answers here: 1. Q - How much for the kit ? A: The price for the kit is SEK4950.- excluding shipping costs. 2. Q - Can I get all the SMD:s premounted on the boards? A. Yes for an additional charge of SEK375.- we also ship the A and B-boards (analogue) with all the SMD:s in place. 3. Q - What is included in the kit? A: All components and hardware needed to build the kit. The A and B-boards are for the analog part. The Controller (C) and Digital (D) board come pre-assembled, programmed and tested 4. Q - What information is needed for the order? A. Send an e-mail to SM4DHN Lars-Bertil info(a)labetech.se with the following details: Name, Callsign, Postal adress. Type of kit (preassembled or not) In a confirmation e-mail, you will then get the payment details. 5. Q - Does the kit get a serial number? A: Yes we will give the kits a serial number. All orders will be logged in a separate homepage so that you can keep track of "your" order with serial number and shipping-information. Look in the order log for details. 6. Q - What tools and instruments are needed for assembly ? A: Basic tools like a good quality soldering iron, solder and hand tools. For alignment an universal digital instrument does a good job. An extra reciever, a frequency counter and an oscilloscope is great to have for good measurement control. Further information is given in the building instructions page. 7. Q. Where can i get support if something fails? A. 1. First of all you should consult the manual for the kit building. 2. Share your thoughts and questions with kitbuilders in the Yahoogroup: QROlle 3. Ask the designers. Analog SM6DJH Olle ( sm6djh(a)ssa.se ), Digital SM5DEH Nils (sm5deh(a)ssa.se), Components SM4DHN Lars-Bertil (sm4dhn(a)labetech.se) 8. Q - National language support? A. Early on in the project we decided to stick to having all documentation in English. This so that we would make it easier to keep track of information and also make it easier for people from outside of Sweden to understand the project. We though have some documentation in Swedish.

News: news archive THE MAIN PURPOSE WITH THE QROlle II IS TO GIVE THE BUILDER TECHNICAL KNOWLEDGE AND HAPPINESS. I HAVE BUILT IT MYSELF !! So, what about the specs? Here are the basic outlines that are implemented in the QROlle II. Support for the bands 160, 80, 40, 30, 20, 17m, SSB/CW. 10W output (variable) Single IF, 5 Mhz. Similar in design as the previous QROlle. HF Deck optimized for top notch performance. Optimized AGC for super listening experience. DDS with high grade filtering to handle VFO-signal Microprocessor control using ATMEL ARM-processor. Software is to be "open-sourced" so we offer builders to contribute to software coding. All official releases will be controlled by SM5DEH in the designer team. On board programming interface to support software upgrade when available. Standard programming interfaces used for ease of use. Remote control using USB-interface and RS232. Software driven user interface with menus. Built in bug software for bug and Iambic A/B Professional grade Hammond case Only 240mA current drawn at RX (200mA with dimmed backlight). Built using SMD components. A majority of the components being of size 0805. The QROlle Classic was built using SMD:s of the type 1206. This is one of the few kit-type rig:s in the world using SMD:s. Who is afraid of SMD:s ? You should not be ! One of the great things with assembling the QROlle is that it is built using Surface Mounted Devices. The normal size of the devices are "0805". This is the CPU of the QROlle NG front. And, yes it has been hand soldered. So have a look below and see how you do that. Have fun with SMD:s. Why not give it a try ?? Go out there and pick up a simple KIT and try it out. And thus be prepared for the QROlle. For those who want to understand how to work with SMD:s we have linked in a video from YouTube. ----- Here you have all the 18 coils to turn for the QROlle mkII. Nice looking !!   The previous QROlle (Classic) has been a tremendous success and we would like to thank you all very much for the interest, feedback and support in this project. When Olle SM6DJH and Tilman SM0JZT started the project we could not have imagined where it would end up. No one would imagine that we not just designed, documented and presented the project in the SSA magazine QTC. We also got a huge interest from the neighbour countires Finland, Denmark and Norway. We shipped 178 kits to builders in all these countries.
