SoftRock Documentation

All SoftRock information is found in the SoftRock40 group Here you will see a Description and a picture of the original SoftRock40 with its USB power supply. Under that is an announcement section that will have posts that relate to ordering the SoftRock. That is not always up to date and Yahoo tends to hide how you order. More about that below.

  • Postage costs for US/Canada are included in the kit prices and I need to ask for an additional $1 per kit for DX orders to help cover the additional mail cost.
  • SoftRock Lite kits are in stock at $10 for US/Canada and $11 for DX with postage cost included in each kit price.

Ordering SoftRocks

There are two ways to order SoftRock kits. You can send Tony a check.

Tony Parks
1344 E 750 N
Springport, IN 47386

Or you can use PayPal and send the money to Tony's email address. His email address is tough to find since yahoo cuts off the second part of the address. He is raparks and he is at ctcisp.com - put that together with the @ sign.
