FEEDBACK

Feedback "I just received my Genesis kit here in Atlanta, Ga. in less than ONE week. That is just incredible service. I was very worried about purchasing a kit from the other side of the globe, but no worries at all. Nick answers the E-mails very quickly. I look forward to the next kit release." Chuck WA6LTV/4

Feedback "Modern day, state-of-the-art kit at a fair price. Prompt shipping" Bob, K9FOH

Feedback "The purpose of these sorts of kits is to be a platform from which Amateurs can do experimentation in software-defined radio. With SDR, experimentation consists of writing better software for modulation and demodulation of signals. One can do this with multi-thousand dollar radios, or spend as little as $40. I looked at the schematics for this one (Genesis G40) and was quite impressed at what they were able to do for a very affordable price. On paper, it looks like a good balance between cost, complexity and simplicity." Ed Hare W1RFI on QRZ.com
