I've just received an e-mail from Steve Haynal KF70: Since you've expressed past interest, this e-mail is to let you know that you can now order an assembled Hermes-Lite 2.0, filter board and enclosure from Makerfabs . Please see this wiki page for details. Also, please see www.hermeslite.com for a full collection of HL2-related links. Makerfabs The Makerfabs links are: Hermes-Lite 2.0 N2ADR Companion Filter Card Enclosure with custom end plates If you want a great little transceiver with SDR Console support which costs less than $300 then you should seriously consider this offer! SDR Console The Hermes-Lite 2 support page is here . What You Need Steve kf7o added this information (May 8th 2020): I've received several inquiries about what exactly is need to finish or use the HL2 if purchased from Makerfabs. Here is a general reply: If you buy the HL2, N2ADR filter board, and enclosure form Makerfabs, you will need to provide the following: Drill. M3 nut and bolt. Thermal grease, commonly used with computer CPU heatsinks. File or thin metal ruler wrapped with sandpaper. This is to provide the PA heat dissipation as described here: https://github.com/softerhardware/Hermes-Lite2/wiki/Enclosure-and-PA-Heatsink#pa-thermal-dissipation . Screwdriver. This is to attach the end plates. Depending on exactly what Makerfabs sends, you may need or choose to use slightly different M3 (I think) screws to affix the end plates. 3A 11-16V power supply with barrel power connector. See https://github.com/softerhardware/Hermes-Lite2/wiki/Power-Supply . Computer capable of running SDR software. The HL2 is not a standalone radio. You need to be able to install and use SDR software as described at https://github.com/softerhardware/Hermes-Lite2/wiki/Software . Tuned HF antenna system with SMA connector
