[hpsdr] Mercury arrived to Latvia

[Phil Harman]

Hi Aivars,

You should have no problem with your 160m delta loop connected directly to Mercury. On bands below 17m you will not need the preamp on.

Depending on the strength of your local MW stations you may need to add additional attenuation before Mercury or a MW High Pass Filter. 

Give it a try and see what happens. 

We will shortly have a new version of the Mercury FPGA code that enables an ADC Overload 'LED' on PowerSDR.

73's Phil....

   Yesterday I've get my Mercury! YEEEEEEEEE!!!!!! :-)
  Custom robbed me for almost 25% of Mercury cost :-( 

  O.K. , but now about business :-)
  Is it dangerous for Mercury if I connect it directly to 160M Delta Loop? Without any filters or better build up any simple preselector. I can't remember any chat about preselector. Other problem is -  QRM level on 160M is 59, sometimes +20 :-( On 80M it's a bit better.
