Clark (WU4B) and I purchased Ten Tec Rebel transceivers at the Dayton
Hamfest. The rebel is a an "open source" transceiver which means that
basically everything can be programmed with software. It is a basic box - 5
watt, 20/40 transceiver - with an Arduino type development board inside,
meaning that things like the keyer, band switching, display, CW decoder is
programmed with software. Made in America, it is truly a software defined
radio.
Clark and I plan to learn a about programming and "build up" our rigs using
open sourced software, readily available on the Rebel Yahoo group, and play.
And we'll get a little help from fellow NOGAnaut, Craig Berhens NM4T, in
Huntsville. He's even gotten his to do JT64.
The rig is $199 plus shipping, but during the Hamfest it was discounted by
10%. I was told that if you call Ten Tech in the next day or two, you would
be able to get the discount too.

So who wants to join us on the this adventure into the future of ham radio?
The more, the merrier. Get your Rebel and let me know you're in!
Phil
