Hi,
Does anyone have an NESCAF, built or unbuilt? that they would part with? I'd really like to get one for the regen receiver I'm building. jstonebk@shentel.net

Hi Mont.
Thanks for the inquiry. At this point, it looks like it may be a few more weeks. Dave, NT1U had redesigned the board to take a surface mount SCAF chip, but we have not done a proto run. Recently, one of our members pointed out another SCAF chip in the original dip-format from another manufacturer. This is supposed to be a drop-in replacxment for the original chip. I have some samples now.
I will be testing this possible replacement soon, and determine if we can just go with another run of the same board. The delay has primarily been due to lack of time on my part. I intend to get back to work on this after the MassCon gathering, this weekend.

As for me I'ld be for the replacable chip if it's as good or better than the original rather than the SMT Chip. Why fool with perfection!Very excitedly awaiting the release of the kit weather SMT or not.

If you can wait a few weeks,
If you can wait a few weeks, the revised NEScaf may be in stock here. Last rumblings I heard were hopeful about March.
