Title: QRP Labs ProgRock2 Synthesizer
Post by: Charlie_Dont_Surf on July 11, 2023, 2301 UTC

Pretty cool. I bought a couple but I haven't had time to try them yet.

• Eight selectable programmable frequencies up to 228 MHz (roughly)
• Three outputs (two if using a GPS reference) that can be in phase, 180 degrees out of phase or quadrature (Hello CMCD)
• Uses the same synthesizer chip in the Elecraft KX3 (and probably a few other radios)
• Small enough to fit in a HC-6 crystal container!
• Sold completely built, not a kit, so no soldering
• Platform shoes and long hair not included (Get it? It's called Prog Rock...)

I recently saw a pic of Peter Gabriel fronting Genesis circa 1974, he was dressed as Britannia and wearing platform boots. His forehead was shaved about an inch back from his normal hairline.

There were way too many psychedelics floating around then at bargain basement prices.

BTW, Putin has been bringing platform shoes back. There have been several pics of him sporting them. Moscow rules, you know?
