Please note: mcHF is a home DIY transceiver that is supplied in a kit form. The cases we provide are not manufactured for this kit and are not aimed to provide a factory-sealed product. We mount the PCBs and perform all adjustments with our best efforts but on occasions, there will be not enough tolerance in the length of the shells supplied. On these occasions, it’s not possible to accomplish perfectly centred alignment of jacks, connectors or side panel seal.

What you might need extra? The additional Items we offer, not supplied with the kit:

✔ robust ROW-PDS-0X USB-C PowerDelivery 45W power supply for the mcHF and other QRP transceivers – click HERE

Q: Where do I purchase the kit from?
A: Your purchase the mcHF kit from www.m0nka.co.uk prior to purchase the assembly service.

Q: How long does it take for the kit to arrive to you from the UK?
A: We have a supply of kits already here on our premises. If the product was purchased on the website we have it in our workshop ready to start the assembly. If the product is showing ‘Out of Stock’ this means kits are still in transportation and they will be made available to purchase when we receive them and inspect all in well and undamaged.

Q: Do I pay customs charges?
A: No. All has been taken care of.

Q: Do I get a case with the assembly service or I have to buy it and send it to you?
A: The price of the case is included in the payment you make to www.m0nka.co.uk. For the convenience of the assembly service, the cases are kept in our workshop. You will receive a fully functional mcHF in enclosure ( please see pictures)

Q: If you have the kits and the cases, why does it take 5-7 working days to ship the assembled product?
A: We begin the assembly process after both payments have cleared. First payment to www.m0nka.co.uk that covers the cost of the kit and the case. Second payment to roWaves Technologies for the assembly and shipping. We would like to allow sufficient time for assembly and troubleshooting ( if needed ) as well as proper testing and calibration. 5-7 days is only an estimation, please be aware it can take longer in some cases.

Q: Is the Microphone included?
A: Yes, the assembled unit is supplied with the microphone included in the assembly service that you pay.

Q: I want to add a different microphone but there is only one type on offer.
A: We have tried different styles of microphones and have found that this model (included in your delivered assembled unit) offers best value and performance, in our opinion.

Q: How would you ship my assembled mcHF?
A: We work with DHL courier service and we are pleased to offer you the best competitive prices for their courier service. Please check up-to-date shipping prices here.

Q: I don’t live in the European Union, can you still assemble a kit for me?
A: We only assemble and ship units within the EU. Please contact m0nka (djchrismarc@gmail.com) with your specific inquiry stating what country are you in.

Q: I bought the kit from www.m0nka.co.uk a while ago but didn’t realize how much work is involved. Can you help me?
A: We can try to help you. We would like to know more about your particular situation. Please email us with more details at support ( at) rowaves (dot ) com.

I am very happy with the performance of the transceiver.
There is no other QRP like it, great quality at a reasonable price.
Stop looking and buy an MCHF here.

I built a small sdr, I liked how it works, but I wanted an “industrial” one and so I bought MCHF SDR assembled by rowaves. I’m more than satisfied. Lightweight, small, powerful, perfect for portable with a Lipolymer battery. Thanks RoWaves. YO7LRC, Doru

The mcHF SDR arrived in perfectly working order, it’s indeed a very good radio. Andrei and his team did a great job assembling it and very rapidly answered some questions via e-mail, going above and beyond what is expected.

Ordered the fully assembled receiver beginning of 2021 when I was still in training for my license. Works as intended, would buy it again.

Very quickly delivered, the radio is nice, works very well, happy I bought it. Thanks to all roWaves team.
Mirek, OK2FUG (verified owner) – 30/08/2021

I knew mcHF from Youtube and reviews only. Now that I have it in my hand, it exceeded my expectations. I’m very satisfied. Selectivity, sensitivity, waterfall, transmitter power, everything is a dream come true for a QRP amateur. Fast delivery and a flawlessly functioning radio after assembly by this service is absolutely perfect. I would appreciate option of choosing an antenna connector between BNC and SMA. The mcHF has a slightly higher power consumption during receiving, maybe it would be solved by changing the CPU, eg STM32L4 series.
