***** High Performance Software Defined Radio Discussion List *****

ANOUNCEMENT

AMSAT will immediately initiate support for The High Performance Software
Defined Radio (HPSDR) project, an independent team that is dedicated to
bringing high performance software defined radio devices within the reach of
amateurs in terms of access to the hardware and software and at manageable
prices. 

This is a rare opportunity for AMSAT to easily join a major technological
development and have a positive impact on both that development and AMSAT's
own primary interests. The High Performance Software Defined Radio (HPSDR)
project is a completely open source software (GNU Public License) and open
hardware design. It has an extremely capable group of core designers, many
of whom are also key AMSAT design team members, supported by a cast of
hundreds. To learn more, see http://hpsdr.org/.

The goal for AMSAT is to dramatically improve the development schedule and
quality of our Eagle ground station and spacecraft transponders, both SDX
and wideband digital. AMSAT will benefit on related projects as well, such
as the P3E SDX transponder development.

AMSAT will support HPSDR with a modest amount of financial, personnel and
other resources. Financial resources will be under AMSAT control and will be
used to support activities such as joint HPSDR and Eagle design meetings.
AMSAT's Engineering team will submit a 2007 budget for the AMSAT Board's
approval at the annual meeting in October. The modest resources that are
needed in 2006 can be provided by the Eagle team project.
