The Sienna is finally on the air
I got the Sienna on the air last Monday. I am still waiting on the 100w amp and the embeded PC, but we have been hitting PSK hard all week.
I have made a little over 20 contacts with it since. Great performer and a fun project to build. I plan on taking it camping as soon as I get the embeded PC put in. That way I only have to take the Sienna, a monitor, keyboard and mouse with me.

You can take a look at the build at http://w0wwv.org/index.php/board,21.0.html
So if you want to see what it sounds like at least on PSK you can usually find me at 14.070. Contact me if you want to try a SSB contact.
Allen,
The radio looks very nice, with a retro-style glow about it.
How are you finding its performance compared to other rigs?

It’s great. The only other modern rig I have is a IC-746Pro. The Sienna is as good or better then it. The receiver is really hot.
I find the front panel easier to use. Don’t get me wrong, I like the Icom, but i prefer the Sienna. I have made about 30 PSK contacts on 10w this week.
I would recommend it to anyone.
