HF+6M Multimode SDR Transceiver LunarisSDR 610 + VNA Pure Signal Digital PreDistortion Compatible Vector network analyzer and many more unmatched features
PRESENTS Lunaris-SDR is a single board Digital Up and Down Conversion (DUC/DDC) full duplex HF+6m multi-mode 10W transceiver & a Vector Network Analyzer, is one of the finest SDR available. The Lunaris 610 transceiver was derived from a popular open source SDR transceiver design. CEDA-Labz intends to produce this product under NCL license waivers granted by the original developers. www.ceda-labz.com
The CEDA-Labz Lunaris 610 usability enhancements to the open source SDR transceiver design include: CEDA-Labz exclusives On Board 3.5A Switching Power supply with oversized heat sinks Internal fan 160-6m 10 Watt Linear power amplifier, based on PennyWhistle Alex based LPF and 3 user selectable antenna ports Rear panel access to internal Vector Network Analyzer reflection bridge connectors Rear panel 13.8VDC accessory port Rear panel Microphone, headphone, key jacks Rear panel L/R Line level audio output jack Internal, switched Speaker Rear panel Opto-Isolated PTT output jack (Key external amplifier etc) Rear panel PTT input jack (for foot switch etc) Rear panel LPF RX output and Direct RX input for PureSignal use with external directional coupler Jumperless Mic configuration via easily accessible bottom panel dip switches Improved EMI/RFI filtering of J16 Accessory port Front panel LED's, showing PTT activity and ADC overload status Front panel LED's showing currently selected Alex LPF bank and Alex SPI activity PureSignal Internal/External options Lunaris610 SDR performing like a champ
The CEDA-Labz 610 SDR transceiver includes significant usability enhancements over a popular open source SDR transceiver design. These front panel enhancements include LED's showing the currently selected Low Pass Filters, PTT activity, and ADC Overload. Except for the LAN/Ethernet connection, all user I/O has been relocated to the rear panel. The rear panel enhancements include internal fan, 13.8VDC accessory port, dedicated PTT-IN jack, opto-isolated PTT output port, dedicated external PureSignal directional coupler connectors, internal Vector Network Analyzer Reflection Bridge ports, additional EMI/RFI filtering on J16 accessory port, Left/Right Line level audio outputs, and an internal speaker switch.
CEDA-Labz Lunaris 610 Internal Vector Network Analyzer Reflection Bridge The CEDA-Labz Lunaris 610 includes an internal Vector Network Analyzer Reflection Bridge with easily accessible rear panel connectors. The internal VNA Reflection Bridge can be used to analyze antennas and filters etc. This reflection bridge can be used with HAM VNA 1.1 Software available from http://www.dxatlas.com/hamvna for example Lunaris supports open source software PowerSDR Windows GHPSDR-Linux KISS CONSOLE -Windows cusdr Gnu Radio Android application from John Melton's (G0ORX/N6LYT) Lunaris-Transceiver+VNA incorporates the CEDA-Labz CHIRON DUC/DDC Transceiver board. It is a highly integrated SDR with additional unmatched features built on-board - Vector Network Analyser, On board speaker, 10 MHz internal / external auto switching and Highly Thermal-Efficient Board design which will enhance your product life and will reduce frequency drifting trouble. Complete Lunaris SDR solution includes 10 watt linear amplifier and Low Pass Filters in a rugged aluminum enclosure. The Lunaris SDR enclosure provides sufficient cooling for operation in hot and humid environments. Further added OPTOisolated PTT out so no more frying of FPGAS/rigs. Shielding provision has been added to Receiver Section- to have better crosstalk and EMI-RFI compliance. Added Pure-Signal provision so no user modification requires to get the benefits of Pure-Signal feature. Lunaris Transceiver outputs 10 Watt RF power on 160-10m and 6m amateur band. The LPF board consists of seven relay switched low pass filters for transmitter harmonic suppression. It has three external BNC connectors, described below: Antenna 1 transmit-receive Antenna 2 transmit-receive Antenna 3 transmit-receive The Lunaris 610 Transceiver + VNA is an unmatched SDR+VNA in the market today. The Lunaris 610 SDR provides unique usability features not available elsewhere. CEDA-Labz is "user driven" and encourages interested users to email suggestions or wish lists of features you would like to see included in future products, we will be happy to respond to you.
