Re: FW: [4SQRP] T41 Update
david todd
Jack,
You AL and others dont need to explain the dificulties in designing and manufacturing a kit for the ham community. Im sure it will be fantastic ,and for the price and what it can do from what i read, it will be money well spent. some companies are selling receiver only radios, and charging over 750 for them. they are kits too but only receive, and with some problems. I dont see a massive line of hams creating such a transceiver with its capabilites and price range and being built here in the USA. which is a big HURRAHHH!!!!. Keep up the good work, testing and when you finish , you know there will be a boat load of fellow hams who will jumpt to purchase this transceiver. Im Patiently waiting for the 4sqrp group to start kitting and posting the kit. when they do, im buying one. I know with price increases on parts is not preventable. alot of comapnies like to put the screws to the small mom and pop shops like you and Al are. Maybe you can put a supplimental manual in the kit to go along with your book, showing some of the experimental paths one can take,inviting the purchaser to either build it as is or expand on their own ideas with a little nudge. Any Jack,AL. may the Manufacturing GODS and PARTS GODS bless you both and bestow upon u both thousands of orders. Im always im awe no matter how much i learn or know, how a couple of hams create a radio with so many options, and being able to expand upon it,with 20 watts out and a great price and can do digital modes built into it too. Just thought i would drop you both a reassuring note that there are many hams out here who are not members of the forum who know about your transceiver and have mentioned purchasing it when it hits the market.Even if it takes until next May or so. 73s David ac9xh good thru hamcall.net,qrzcq.com and FCC

FW: [4SQRP] T41 Update
AG1P Ron
From Jack Purdum W8TEE 72 - Ron - AG1P
From: Jack Purdum [mailto:jjpurdum@...]
Sent: Wednesday, November 30, 2022 5:53 AM To: AG1P Ron Subject: Re: [4SQRP] T41 Update
Al and I intend to continue to support the 4SQRP version of the T41-EP after its release. To us, this means improving the T41's performance anyway we can. We fully expect software-only changes to be released as soon as they have been fully tested. Those releases will occur "as needed", but the could be fairly frequent. We don't expect to see frequent hardware changes even though we are currently seeing a lot of activity on this Forum in that arena. Hardware changes, however, need a deeper type of cost/benefit analysis by the 4SQRP people as those changes can involve a boatload of money. The good news is that the end user can make both hardware/software changes as they see fit and, therein, is what sets the T41 apart from other rigs in the market.
When we started this project almost 4 years ago, we weren't sure how it would be received. We are tickled at the interest in the project. We realize that many of you are reading what goes on here and waiting for the dust to settle before jumping in. We understand. However, we think you'll throw rocks at the competition even if their 3x the price point of the T41...it's worth the wait!
Jack, W8TEE

Your concerns are valid however as people do hardware changes to their own kits, there will be a myriad of different variations. It will be difficult to determine which variation is the optimum one. We have to choose our changes wisely and stick with one version as the kit matures. We are a small non-profit and cannot afford to maintain a number of different variations, especially when a run costs well over $20,000. We will be tapping reserves to do this and put on an in-person OzarkCon 2023. But doing so is very exciting to us from a hobby perspective, falls within our published mission and we are more than willing to take the chance.
This is an experimenter’s kit. We are an all-volunteer organization with limited resources so will provide a baseline, as up to date as possible, upon which many can either enjoy the rig as-is or experiment with it. That is Al and Jack’s vision and we intend to work closely with them to see it comes to fruition. We will provide support for our version. For the people who go off in other directions, there is Jack and Al’s reflector, where people today get support for their experiments from the community of builders and from what I see, it is very effective.

I don't think the software side will be the issue since to date Jack and Al are the only ones working on that part of the radio with some suggestions from the rest of the group. The hardware seems to evolve much more rapidly and involve many more people and obviously much harder to track and incorporate changes. I suspect you are right, it will evolve over time, but the fear is that at some point you become quite dated if you don't keep up.
