[hpsdr] PCB layout software that won't break the bank.

[KD5NWA]

For those that make their own PCB's or send them out there is a free PCB 
layout program available called "FreePCB", some of you might be familiar 
but some might not be. It will not limit you to a small board size or 
only one PCB house and,  the prize is right.  It's a Window's program, I 
loaded it in Linux under Wine and it runs but has some display issues, 
but source is provided in case you feel adventuresome.

Stats;

60"X60" (slightly bigger than a SoftRock)
Generates Gerber and Excellon files
Copper pouring capability
Wizard to create custom pad patterns
Imports and exports netlist.
Design rule checker
FREE!

I only played with it a little bit, so you need to see if it meets your 
needs.
