Sienna Model S-100X 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. This "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!

Be sure to also order the receive bandpass filter for the bands you want
to use ($20/band, 11 bands, or $185 for the set).
Note: receivers can be
upgraded to transceivers by adding the transmitter and other options, but
also require a controller board upgrade, which adds $199. This extra cost
has already been included in transceiver models.

Add an internal PC to any model for
$799 (1GHz
Celeron) or $999
(2GHz Core 2 Duo)
(Assembled and tested. Includes all internal cabling, micro-ATX power
supply and steel shield for supply)
Sienna is the only kit radio on the market
with an optional built-in PC:
Sienna's PC compartment can house an
Advantech PCM-9382 or 9386 and MIO-6254 interface
Middle picture is the micro-ATX power supply. Right picture shows supply
enclosed in steel shield for mounting and RFI protection.
The ATX supply is connected to both switched and unswitched power so that
when you turn off your rig, the PC executes a hardware shutdown, protecting
the compact flash card against data corruption.
For an additional $49, you can
add this micro-UPS (uninterruptible power supply) to provide backup power to
the PC in the event your main power fails. This board connects to a small
sealed lead-acid battery (not included) that fits in the compartment where
the 100W amp normally goes, so it is not recommended with 100W Siennas. If
you have a Sienna with the internal 100W amp and want to include the
internal PC, we recommend an external UPS that
can power the rig (and therefore also the PC).
Although it can use a PC, Sienna is NOT a Software-Defined
Radio (SDR) (You can download new firmware into it, but that is not
what SDR means). Sienna uses a traditional analog triple-conversion receiver
and single conversion transmitter.
The optional internal PC adds digital modes, web connectivity, USB and all
the other features of a PC built-in, but it is not required, nor do
you need an external PC unless you select a model without a front panel,
because the radio has its own internal microprocessors.
For an in-depth look at the differences
between true SDR (e.g., Flex-5000), DSP, "Software-Augmented Radio" such as
Sienna, and traditional "Software-Controlled Radio", read W0DZ's new column
on "Computers and Radio" in the January issue of
Monitoring Times.
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)
DZKit offers a small selection of Inrad filters for Sienna.
See them here.
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 (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!)
