Overview

OSS Radio Hardware Design is an open-source printed circuit board by Arkos-Engineering, from the Arkos-Engineering/HT-15_hardware repository on GitHub. It is a 4-layer board of 55 × 100.5 mm with 256 parts on 157 nets, routed with 2,332 tracks and 378 vias.

It is built around the AP63203WU, MX25L25645GM2I-08G and W25Q128JVSIQ, with the AMS1117-1.8, MCP73844-820I/MS and P091S-FC20BR10K among its other parts. Its parts include 70 capacitors, 53 diodes, 44 resistors, 10 ICs and 9 connectors. It belongs with the radio and wireless boards and the RP2350 boards of this library.

HT-15

What will set this radio apart from competitors is:

Fully open source, hardware and software Swappable radio module, allowing easy hardware upgradability (2M/70CM at launch) USBC charge and data, SD card, Kenwood style audio connector, removable battery Low-power E-ink display targeting 72+ hour standby time FM and M17 support at launch, with plans to support many other digital modes in the future such as DMR, P25 (depending on codec licensing) Ability for community to write and easily install “apps” that allow custom features or arbitrary digital mode development Usable “off the shelf”. We will be selling the radio as a complete unit (not just a devboard) Target price between $200 and $300, Selling all individual parts on our website for repairability

Questions

How big is the OSS Radio Hardware Design PCB?

It measures 55 × 100.5 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.57 mm thick.

What parts does the OSS Radio Hardware Design use?

256 parts, built around the AP63203WU, MX25L25645GM2I-08G, W25Q128JVSIQ and AMS1117-1.8. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the OSS Radio Hardware Design KiCad files?

From the Arkos-Engineering/HT-15_hardware repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/KiCad Main Board/OSS Radio Hardware Design.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/Battery/Radio Interface/Radio Interface.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the OSS Radio Hardware Design design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Arkos-Engineering before reusing the design.
