Availability of LimeSDR mini in shop

Post by G4ZJH » Tue Mar 17, 2020 11:04 pm

Hi to all,

I'm in the process of building the Portsdown using an original LimeSDR USB board which I understand is compatible with the 2019 version. I now see the new 2020 software running under Buster is available, but is not working with the old original LimeSDR board. So I went over to the BATC shop to purchase a replacement LimeSDR mini board, but found it has disappeared from the shop. Its not listed at all - not even as out of stock. I've searched the forums to see if there is a reason, but have found nothing. Could someone tell me if this board will be for sale in the BATC shop again, or do I have to look elsewhere?

Regards,

Ian G4ZJH.

BATC stopped selling Limes about a year ago as are readily available from standard suppliers. Eg Digikey.

Hi Ian

The LimeSDR Mini is now available from Mouser UK. Search on "392-CS-LIME-05", current price £144.16 + VAT. BATC is not in the business of competing with commercial suppliers (or eBay), so we no longer stock it.

Sorry about the LimeSDR USB. It might work with Portsdown Buster, but I don't have one to test with, so can't say that I support it.
