"FA-SDR-TRX": an I/Q-based SDR transceiver kit from the German "Funkamateur"
HAM-Radio magazine

Just got the parcel today (01-June-2010) and looked at the content.

Here are some pictures on what was inside the box:

All parts laid out on the table.  Starting with the assy documents CD (low left side and
proceeding clockwise), "FA-SY 1" synthesizer (SI570 based), 1 watt linear amp and
parts, pre-drilled housing, SDR TRX main PCB and parts.

All of the SMT parts are already soldered onto the PCB's. THT parts still need to be
soldered and in case of coils/transformers need to be assembled first.

Optional housing for the kit (nicely done and professional looks):
