LimeSDR supply

Disclaimer: I have nothing to do with Lime Microsystems/Mouser.

But the global electronics supply chains are still in very bad shape, in many ways things have got worse (Since I posted in November, January there was a fire at ASML in Berlin which will affected the production of new, and servicing of existing, EUV lithography equipment used in chip production. The Russia invasion, has reduced the global supply chain of Neon, Krypton, Xenon from the Ukraine, prices are sixfold what they were last quarter, needed for chip manufacture and sanctions have terminated the import of Palladium from Russia, used to make multi-layer ceramic capacitors).

For a bulk order of just passive components (inductors, resistors, capacitors) it is still about half a year from the order being placed until the parts ship, unless a company can source an intermediate supplier that has the exact component specified with enough stock for a bulk order. But bulk stock is being bought out by car manufacturers, graphics card makers, PC manufacturers and the current generation of game consoles who are trying to have stock for December!
