Sienna XL

2023 update. Production quality beta units are now shipping to our eight beta testers. This project is taking a long time, so thanks for your patience. It will be worth the wait!

Sienna XL is our top of the line 160-6M 0-250W Receiver/Transceiver kit. Full-color hi-res LCD touch display and 2nd display acting as dual simulated backlit analog meters with touch! Simply tap the meter face to change scales. Three choices of front panel color scheme including a new blue panel. To be introduced later -- optional voice recognition and optional voice response. Top-notch local oscillator synthesizer provides excellent performance on transmit and receive. Built-in BHI DSP noise reduction module eliminates noise without making signals sound like they're under water. Optional notch filter, noise blanker, FM, AM and many choices of IF filters. Excellent stereo audio chain has very low distortion and high power, and is active on phones and speakers at the same time.

The base model is a 250W transceiver, 160-6M. Options include a notch filter, RF noise blanker, voice recognition, voice synthesis, and antenna tuner.

Built-in Rx is a traditional double conversion superhet with ultra-low-phase-noise oscillators and Inrad crystal filters, but it also integrates well with external SDR's, such as the SDRPlay RSP1A, acting as a panadapter or secondary receiver. Use it with our new "Saguaro" SDR!

+/-0.1PPM TCXO, Full coverage receive bandpass filters & AM, FM, full duplex (T/R at the same time), cross-band/cross-mode operation, 9MHz and 455kHz IF Outputs for use with panadapters, transverter interface, two main antennas (SO-239), and one receive antenna (BNC). Also includes separate Tx/Rx band data, muting, antenna output and frequency tracking for secondary receiver. RS-232 port allows interface to PC. Compatible with DX Lab Suite, Ham Radio Deluxe, SpectraVue, SDRUno and more. Upgradeable firmware.
