Product Details

A high-quality RF (MF, HF) converter for software defined radio devices like the NESDR series, the HackRF, and pretty much every other SDR currently made. Also works as a panadapter for most radios! It will function in both transmit and receive modes if available on your SDR.

Standard features:
Female SMA for both input and output for a wide array of connectivity options
In-line SMA connectors. Much easier to connect and manipulate than side-by-side SMA connectors
Antenna protection on RF input--in-circuit in both enable and passthrough mode--to protect your Ham It Up & SDR from stray ESD
All critical components sourced exclusively from North American parts distributors
Only ultra-low-noise components used in the signal path
Ultra-high-Q, low ESR inductors and capacitors used for all filters
Powered by a sturdy & common USB-B USB socket for a multitude of power input options
RF-suitable power supply regulation (LP5907)
PTC fuse on USB power input to protect your Ham It Up upconverter from short circuits
Upconverter enable/passthrough toggle switch--less fiddling with small, delicate cables and connectors
125MHz oscillator for improved sensitivity (away from high-traffic RF zones, like broadcast FM)
Stable <25ppm oscillator included
LO disabled in passthrough mode
A maximum input level of +1dBm with LO at +7dBm
High-quality 2-layer PCB with ENIG finish
Small, light-weight PCB (just 3.8" x 1.9")
Designed to fit standard off-the-shelf Hammond enclosures
7 mounting holes for standard PC screws
Designed and manufacturered in conjunction with Opendous Inc., an excellent open-hardware design company
Full project documentation--schematics, PCB design files, assembly information--is freely available.
A portion of the proceeds from your purchase will be used to support this and other open-hardware, open-source initiatives

Input, output and LO filters reconfigured for substantial sensitivity and selectivity improvements
New ultra low-noise linear power regulator (LP5907), with voltage noise under 10 µVRMS!
Optional battery-powered operation for DXing on the go! (easy-to-assemble AAA battery holder sold separately, or roll-your-own solution with the easily-accessible battery power input vias)
New side-mount LED indicators, easily visible with or without an enclosure (Green = upconvert mode enabled; Yellow = USB powered; Red = low voltage)
Fully-assembled broadband RF noise source built-in (Note: SMA output jack excluded to comply with government regulations, but can be purchased separately)
u.FL socket (also known as IPX and UMCC) available for optional clock injection from an external clock source, should a higher-accuracy clock be desired
5 other u.FL socket mounting footprints for simplified testing, troubleshooting and demonstrational purposes
Additional mounting holes to facilitate custom installations
Sturdy right-angle SMA connectors to improve spacing tolerances and ensure physical compatibility with our machined aluminum enclosures (enclosures sold separately)
Redesigned for a surface-mount oscillator to eliminate potential oscillator-desocketing issues
