A prototype of Caiguaran, a low cost 1.8 MHz transceiver, was presented at the 8th Congress of the Cuban Ham Radio Federation (FRC).
Caiguaran is designed to give 20 watts output at 160 meters and with additional hardware can also work on the 80 and 40 meter bands. It can help to support emergency communication in Cuba.
None of the links mention mode or whether it operates on AM, although a few years ago pissweak Cuban AM'ers were widely heard on the band but few of them had readable signals this far north.
The Chair of the FRC, Pedro Rodriguez CO2RP told the Cuban News Agency that the first 600 units of Caiguaran are ready for delivery to Cuban Amateur Radio Operators.
The prototype transceiver was manufactured at one of the factories controlled by the Cuban Ministry of Informatics and Communications (MIC).
