Sienna Model S-100X (left) and SF-100X (right) 100W transceiver shown with Heil PR-781 mic, Kent TP-1 paddles, 12-button keypad, monitor, wireless keyboard, USB mouse, and wireless USB hub. Ham Radio Deluxe freeware is shown on the display. NOTE: These pictures do not show the new white-on-black meter design using white LED backlighting. Also, the "faceless" model now includes the mic and headphone jacks.

Worried about remote control of a front-panel-less model? Don't be! Sienna can be operated as a Kenwood TS-570 from most rig control programs. You won't get full functionality, but it gets you by. Meanwhile, the author of Ham Radio Deluxe has the Sienna on his "todo" list. In addition, you can easily add the Sienna remote control commands to HRD yourself. Here's a screen shot from one customer who did just that!

                      Add an internal PC to any model for $599 (1GHz Celeron) or $999 (2GHz Core 2 Duo)

                          
 add the transmitter, amp, tuner or PC at any time to upgrade one model to the next)

ADD INRAD CRYSTAL FILTERS & COLLINS MECHANICAL FILTERS FOR AM, CW AND HIGH PERFORMANCE 70MHZ ROOFING FILTER ($115-155 each)

The base model can be used as a general coverage shortwave receiver and also as a secondary receiver for a transceiver model Sienna, remote-controlled by your favorite rig control program on your own PC. Or add the internal PC and get the same capability as an external PC built-in, making it much easier to transport without all those interconnect wires to worry about! Add a front panel to it and you'll have an extremely capable secondary receiver with a full set of independent controls!)
 


Sienna - A Study in Duality

  • Dual microprocessors - one for keying and mic sampling, one for general control (plus the optional PC)
  • Two choices for the  optional built-in PC - one with good performance, one with high performance
  • Dual 10dB preamps & one 10dB attenuator
  • Full-duplex - Tx and Rx do not share any circuitry, allowing true cross-band operation, also useful for digital modes, satellites, transmit monitoring and much more
  • Dual receive (control external secondary receiver from optional  internal PC and route its audio to internal speaker)
  • Dual displays (blue-green vacuum fluorescent on front panel, VGA on optional embedded PC)
  • Dual keying (manual key and paddles active simultaneously with front and back panel access) using a dedicated microprocessor, providing accurate iambic timing, non-choppy QSK and a complete set of front panel controls). Keyer supports Iambic A, B and Ultimatic modes
  • Dual stereo audio (headphones and speakers active simultaneously with separate volume controls)
  • Dual analog backlit meters (with optional front panel)
  • Dual passband tuning (at 9MHz 2nd IF and 455KHz 3rd IF) with choice of four filters at each IF
  • Dual antenna ports using two relays for better isolation from A to B, plus separate receive antenna- tuner not required to get this switch!
  • Dual-tone multi-color front panel for easy identification of groups of controls (Want a different color scheme - heath green? cobalt blue? black? Just ask. There's a small extra fee, but since we use a polycarbonate overlay instead of paint, we can do that too!)
  • Dual band-change modes: External keypad has direct one-button per band selection; Front panel has a "band" button, then use the rotary knobs to change VFO memories or bands, or use the up/down buttons. (Or use remote control!)

PLUS:
Triple conversion general coverage receiver
(500KHz to 30MHz) with 20kHz roofing filter at the 70.000MHz 1st IF (4.5kHz@70.455kHz available); 4-pole 2.4kHz Inrad crystal filter at the 9MHz IF; 20kHZ ceramic filter at the 455kHz IF. Choose from a wide selection of crystal and mechanical filters to add up to 6 more filters. Separate 6kHz AM/ESSB and variable BW crystal filters at the transmitter's 10.7MHz IF). Five VFO memories per band. 1ppm TCXO standard. DZKit exclusive Passive Signal Boost (PSBTM) helps extract weak signals on a fading band. Updateable firmware. Optional Embedded PC runs Windows or Linux with LAN/USB/VGA/PS-2/RS-232 connectors on the back panel. Optional MIO board plugs onto optional PC and adds a second video display with DVI, S-Video, composite video outputs and 6W stereo speaker outputs. Optional external 12-button keypad for direct band entry and memory access. Noise Blanker with three pulse widths and variable threshold. Simple menu system. Extremely wide RIT/XIT tuning (+/- 16MHz range). Compartment for battery or 100W amp. SiliconPixels ChromaDSP and 10-band graphic equalizer (with PC option). Solid aluminum and steel construction with "no-flex", uncluttered front panel. Fully loaded Sienna is a lightweight 10 lbs (12 lbs with amp and PC) with "no-skid" rubber feet.  147 built-in memories including ten 12-character CW memories with Farnsworth speed control. Negative ALC voltage input for linears. Transverter output. 5-foot pre-wired Anderson Power Pole DC input cable provided. 455KHz IF output. Much more! And it's a true KIT with lots of soldering and mechanical construction! Our manuals look just like the kits of yesteryear!
