I got my license about a month ago and ordered a QDX to try FT8, but they're super back-ordered. The orders page shows that they're just now fulfilling orders from May.

Do you have another radio to try it with?

Another cheap option is the truSDX https://dl2man.de/

I have it working with my Android Phone using https://github.com/N0BOY/FT8CN

It makes for a super lightweight pack. I usually bring a 17foot whip antenna to a park or summit and get contacts all over the world.

No I don't, do you know if you can buy the truSDX pre-assembled, or does it just come in a kit? I'm visually impaired, so soldering is difficult for me. But I'd like to try getting on HF.

You can get it pre assembled. Here's a link to it on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003908457475.html

The AliExpress link is one of the official suppliers listed on the site: https://dl2man.de/where-to-buy-trusdx/
