\"\"<\/a>Last week, I took delivery of an IQ32 SDR Transciever<\/strong> on loan from HobbyPCB<\/a>. The IQ32 has been on the market for a few years now and is a fusion of the HobbyPCB RS-HFIQ and the STM32-SDR.<\/p>\n

I’ve been told by the HobbyPCB team that the STM32-SDR was developed a few years ago “when PSK31 was the digital mode du jour<\/em> and PS2 keyboard roamed the land.” Cool thing is, the team is still updating the radio’s firmware.\u00a0 Most recently, they expanded the rig’s CW capabilities and re-worked the memory structure and organization based on user feedback.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I see the IQ32 as a collaborative transceiver project and look forward to trying a few QRP PSK-31 contacts in the field with only the transceiver, antenna and a PS2 keyboard. Need to check the shed for that keyboard!<\/p>\n

Anyway, should be fun!<\/p>\n

I plan to write an article for The Spectrum Monitor<\/a> about the IQ32, explore how it came about, and point out some of its unique features. It’ll be less a review and more of a tour of this little rig.<\/p>\n
