Proficio 5W HF Transceiver
Proficio 5W HF transceiver and optional accessories
Proficio Bare PCB
The is the PCB only with the PSoC and PCM3060, fine pitched ICs, preinstalled. Sourcing the parts is the buyer's responsibility using the BOM in the forums files section which can be uploaded to your vendor of choice.
Building of this radio requires an SMD experienced builder with good troubleshooting skills.
QSK switching option is included
The Proficio is the next generation of Transceivers. It is an all band version (160M - 10M) transceiver.
It has all the features of our previous transceiver:
•96kHz digital I/Q interface. No additional sound card needed. Only one USB connection is needed.
•Two tone, 2 kHz spacing, third-order dynamic range: 99 dB.
•Support for Elecraft T1 automatic antenna tuner.
•External Amplifier control via AMP port.
•CW Key Jack.
•DG8SAQ/PE0FKO/SoftRock control interface.
•Open Source firmware.
•Firmware Field Updates via on board USB bootloader.
•Hardrock 50 control when using MSCC.
With these additional features:
• All band. The Proficio covers all bands from 160M to 10M.
• Enhanced receive. A RF amplifier is now in the RF front end that provides about 19db of gain at 10M and tapers down to about 0db at 160M
• Receive Band Pass Filters for all band groupings (160M,80M,40M-60M,20M-30M,15M-17M,12M-10M)
• The same BPFs are used in conjunction with Low Pass Filters in the transmit path to provide a clean output.
• 5W Class A PA. Clean output of 5W on all bands (slightly less on 160M and 10M).
• Real CW. Supports zero latency CW. Software generated CW is not required.
Multus SDR, LLC. provides a custom in house produced host application - MSCC.
MSCC is custom designed for the Proficio and is recommended when operating the Proficio.
We believe our transceiver when used with our MSCC custom host application, is the easiest to use SDR transceiver kit available in amateur radio market.
Installing and using our transceiver on your PC is plug and play. There are no cumbersome and confusing configurations to deal with.
If building a kit is not your thing, we offer a build service at a nominal cost.
The build service provides a professionally built and fully tested transceiver.
The Proficio is also compatible with all host SDR applications that work with the Basic (HDSDR, Genesis SDR, Quisk and others).
The Proficio is supplied as a kit with all SMD devices installed. The customer needs only to install the thru hole components.
Specifications:
Receive:
Continuous from 1.8MHz to 30MHz. (Lower sensitivity below 1.8MHz and between amateur bands)
Sensitivity: MDS: Average -123db. (-125db on 10M. -121db on 160M) ( MDS performance specifications for amateur bands only.)
Transmit:
Power Output: 5W, 4W minimum (transmit permitted on amateur bands only).
Spurious Emissions: Meets or exceeds FCC requirements (-43db from carrier).
Frequency Stability: 1PPM (when using MSCC).

Proficio Transceiver Enclosure Panels
Proficio MFC Option
Add a display and tuning knob to your Proficio. Requires the 1402BV enclosure and end panels.
The MFC(Multi Function Controller) allows tuning the radio and the buttons perform different functions that are user selected in our MSCC software. Additional equipment is required. The Fortis if you want to control radio using and Raspberry RPi4B can be used or if you want to run MSCC on a windows computer you will need the Rego
Display, tuning knob and select buttons

Proficio mount rails
These mounting rails now come with enclosure PCB set.
Due to the Proficio heat sink when using the 1402BV enclosure you can not use the PCB mount slots because the heat sink will interfere with the top cover. These mount rails securely hold the PCB and they mount to the bottom cover with screws for a solid assembly.
These are custom 3D printed parts and they come with hardware for mounting.

Proficio QSK Switch
The PCB replaces the T/R relays K1 and K7 to diode switching. Sold as a kit or fully assembled. Some of the parts are 0805 size with fine pitch ICs so you need SMD experience to assemble.
Removing K1 and K7 relays could cause damage to PCB traces or pads. You need the proper equipment and experience to accomplish this. If you return the Proficio to Multus we can remove those relays for you.
