If you like operating QRP, but from your computer instead of from the radio’s front panel, the Hermes Lite 2 QRP transceiver seems to be back in stock at Makerfabs.
The HL2 is a small, lightweight, 5 Watt, network connected, direct sampling SDR for under $300. No front panel controls. Connects to your network or directly to your computer with an ethernet cable. Similar to a FlexRadio, the HL2 is capable of receiving multiple spectrum slices across multiple HF bands simultaneously.
The Hermes Lite 2 is currently being sold as a “kit”, but one that requires drilling only one hole, and takes less than a half hour to assemble using finished and pre-tested circuit boards.
There is a wide variety of software available on Windows, Linux, Raspberry Pi and Mac systems that supports the HL2, including SparkSDR, Quisk, linHPSDR, and several others.
I have two HL2’s that I’m using for CW, FT8, WSPR, and SDR software experimentation.
Disclaimer: I have added some limited support for the Hermes Lite 2 to one of my paid iOS/iPhone SDR apps, available from Apple’s App store. Using my iPhone (or a Raspberry Pi) as the radio front panel allows me to use my HL2 for lightweight portable SOTA/POTA ops, without having to carry a PC or laptop.
