The Rooster is a replacment for the old FOXX3 kit that Kanga produced for many years. We still get asked for it but we decided to produce a new kit with better performance while keeping the cost low. We wanted more power, better BCI rejection, some audio filtering and a more practical case that was supplied as standard with the kit. The result was the Rooster. Part SMD design but ALL the SMD parts are pre-installed for you leaving around 20 parts to fit. Introduced for the first time at the RSGB 2023 National Conference . 

Kevin MW0KXN recently did a Rooster Presentation at a local club trhat went down very well, you can see the presentation here  pptx or  PDF

Thanks Kevin! 

The Rooster will give approx 2 watts of RF @13.8v  (7.030MHz) or 1.5 watts on 10.116Mhz and just over 1 watt on the 20m (14.060MHz) version.

The Rooster is supplied with a strong statin finsh aluminium case.

The manual is now 40 pages,  full of colour photos and is only availiable online. 

The Rooster is a simple design that works very well,  approx 2 watts on 40m, just under that on 30m and lower power on 20m (users are reporting between 500mW and 1.3 watts on recent builds) 

We also offer  alternative sets of crystals for the 40 Rooster :  (dont worry you get a set of QRP frequency crystals as standard with the kit anyway)

7.028MHz crystals (Tunes to approx 7.02835 in the Rooster), 3 needed per Rooster

7.0293Mhz Crystal ( Only one needed )

The crystals are avaiable via the shops Crystal Page.

Please select either the 40m, 30m or 20m version when ordering, also the optional volume control lead is offered at a reduced price when buying it with the kit.

Also just out now, a small in line volume control adapter, a nice little low cost add on.
