ADD INRAD CRYSTAL FILTERS & COLLINS MECHANICAL FILTERS FOR AM, CW AND HIGH PERFORMANCE 70MHZ ROOFING FILTER ($115-155 each)
DZKit offers a small selection of Inrad filters for Sienna.
Visit Inrad's Sienna pages for a look at all available filters here.
(Confused about filters? Click here!)
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
- 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!)

Controller upgrade Option 1 ($200)
When upgrading an S-100 model from a receiver to a transceiver, you must replace your controller board with the transceiver model. This option allows you to return your original controller. The enhanced controller includes the transmit VFO, keyer and keypad support. You can also order this option with an S-100 or SF-100 model so you won't have to exchange it later.
-
Controller upgrade Option 2 ($600)
When upgrading an S-100 model from a receiver to a transceiver, you must replace your controller board with the transceiver model. This option allows you to keep your original controller as a spare, and buy a new transceiver-compatible controller. The enhanced controller includes the transmit VFO, keyer and keypad support.
-
Receive bandpass filters ($285)
Our exclusive "Passive Signal Boost" feature lets you bypass any uninstalled filters, so you don't have to have any. But you will hear increased noise level and possibly undesired out-of-band signals without them.
-
70.455MHz 4.5kHz roofing filter ($125 U.S. List)
For enhanced receiver performance on CW and SSB (A highly recommended option!)
-
10W all-mode transmitter kit ($699 U.S. List)
This 10W transmitter board is pre-loaded with SMT parts. You add all the through-hole parts, such as transistors, connectors, crystals, transformers, toroids and power transistors (which you also attach to the heatsink that is mounted to the back).

-
fast, silent QSK with programmable delay (min 1ms)
-
CW PTT function available via menu option [PTT signal required before key is recognized]; PTT input available on Mic connector and RS-232 DTR line, with RTS available as a keying input. Also, full break-in delay can be set as low as 3ms, and full duplex mode keeps receiver on even during transmit (transmit signal feeds through if you are listening on your transmit frequency)

-
Tx disabled outside amateur bands, AND when operating outside your license privileges "Out of band!" error message in display lets you know when you've tried to transmit on a frequency outside your license limits. (Select your license class in a menu item). Band limits for various countries, MARS, CAP, military, government, etc., will be downloadable from our web site. Proof of license required to download alternate transmitter limits.
-

Includes two-speed thermistor-controlled fan outputs. 100W CW, 100W PEP SSB, 25W carrier power on AM and FM. Requires transmitter option.
-
Antenna Tuner kit ($189.00 U.S. List)
The internal tuner kit consists of 7 toroids, 7 silver mica capacitors, Polythermaleze magnet wire and 14 high current relays which you mount on an existing board within the unit. A switched-L-style matching network tunes 6-800 ohm unbalanced antenna impedances via the antenna A/B SO-239 antenna connectors at full rated power. Not intended to match long-wire antennas without baluns. Internal memory stores 200 tuner settings including antenna A/B. Retunes automatically every 32kHz. Memory recall is instantaneous. Tuning time for worst case match is 54 seconds. Typical match occurs in <3 seconds. 8A relays can take a lot of punishment, but power is automatically limited to 10W during tune. Existing L/C settings visible in menu. Forced retune on previously tuned band segment also selectable.
