Funcube dongle Adios
It appears as if Funcube went bye-bye....interesting.
I am using SDRPlay RSP2 Pro to see the RX of the Sats via HDSDR. SDRPlay connected to Lindenblad ant which is blocked by adjacent structures left / right. I can only see RX sat when above me :(

I went to the site for information and it appears to be gone and up for sale. http://www.funcubedongle.com/
Did the supplier go out of business or discontinue sale of the product.

Before we make too many assumptions about the FCD, we should ask Howard directly. I have done so, and will report if and when he responds.

While the domains expired I'm not sure if the FCD Pro Plus is EOL, that said ML&S did have stock yesterday.
Hopefully Howard just forgot.

I heard back from Howard. He says the site should be back up (probably takes a while for the domain to spread around to all the name servers). He also said:
Meanwhile, we’re out of stock for a few days, demand over the past few months has been nearly double the usual run rate, and without a crystal ball it’s impossible to predict! One of the parts for the current run was on an unusually long lead time, hence the gap in stock, otherwise we’ve been lucky despite the current situation. They’re on the production right now, and I expect to have new stock within a week.

Hi all,
Is there an Australian distributor of the Fun cube dongle?
