Yes it’s a bit spendy but I thought it was interesting nonetheless. There are other options such as sBITX which are cheaper. But the base red pitaya is 700€.
@@n2rj I wish we could build it cheaper but we are not a volume manufacturer like all the other commercial ones, we are just a team of 4 people who developed and build it... thats the problem - if you build low volume cost is pretty high and the manufacturing of the modules is mainly done in Germany wich is not really known as low cost country.. hi
When l came to purchase mine, l dealt directly with Edwin, the process was a complete pleasure by being treated as an individual, with a follow up courtesy email enquiring that my package arrived both satisfactorily and securely. There is no equal to this product, Red Pitaya is very powerful.
I wish it was a AMD cpu and not intel. I see the system throttling with that little heat on the mobo. I'm not nit-picking, just an observation. I do like the modular nature of the equipment for the build. I am interested in that transceiver but must look into powerSDR alternatives for linux. Let me rephrase that to GNU/Linux so I don't upset the GNU crowd. Since windows, in my eye's, is becoming an ad platform much like android, I went back to linux.
how good is the receiver of the Charly 25 compared to an Icom IC-7300, any better ? dynamic range 2KHz and BDR would interest me. what sort of A/D converter is in that Charly 25 ?
Nice project 😊😊
cool radios - i also liked the antenna (just a wire on a spiderbeam mast directly beside the radio) - 73
Looks great, but I emptied my pockets and didn't find 4,000 Euros, so I guess I'll pass.

No worries at all. Something like a Flex which is made in USA (they have their own factory in Austin Texas) is thousands as well. It is what it is.

Very cool!
Where can I find the specifications for the Charly 25 RADIOlab ?
must be a very rich young ham to afford that radio.....

in that space, AMD are garbage.

I think it uses LTC 2208 ADC which is the same ADC in the 7300? Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
many thx for your report.. i am interested in how Red-Petay was used?
It’s the base for the radio, as in Charly25 is basically Red Pitaya with a computer and a UI all packaged together.
Web site only in German, no option for English.
Sorry but I used Google translate
I was really excited till I heard "Windows", no thanks, move on.....

All good, great to see it, just loose the music. Tnx de ON8EI
The music is part of my personality. I’m not losing it, sorry.
