The Softrock-RXTX kit contains 1 PCB plus all the components to make up the board. This version of the Softrock has transmit capability (CW/SSB) but the RX essentially works in the same manner as in previous kits. There are three versions 80/40m, 160m and 40/30m. The kits do not include audio cables.

There are many more components in these kits including more surface mount components so a certain amount of skill is required plus the right type of equipment. A grounded tip soldering iron (15 to 20W) is required with a small tip. Some form of visual magnification such as an 'OptiVisor' is essential. SoftRock Kit supplied with CD-ROM with builders notes, schematic on PDF and selection of SDR software programs. Note that one of the crystals has been replaced by a sustitute smt type as the original one is out of stock.
