[hpsdr] Atlas Offering - Details of order, payment and shipping.

[Achim Vollhardt]

Dear Eric,
I think I speak on behalf of all members of this very fine project when 
I express my thanks to you. With ATLAS you kicked of, what appears to me 
like a great project taking off, leading us to the next step in SDR and 
amateur radio projects in general.

Looking forward to getting ATLAS into my hand and giving him his 
shoulders :)

> June 12 and will inform everyone via this reflector when they are shipped.
> These should be considered 'beta' versions of the board. Three boards were

> without warranty, and you are obligated to pay, regardless of their ultimate
> usability. This is a 'board only' offer. The parts needed to populate the

> of materials for both domestic ordering and ordering in EU from Germany can
> be found in the splendid user's / assembly guide generated by Horst -

> a pointer to the Manual will be included.

> Pricing:
> 
>  
> 
> In discussion with Phil and Lyle who designed and ordered the board
> respectively, it was decided to price the boards at $10.00 USD per board.
> The actual cost of the board was right at $6.00 USD. I am not trying to
> profit from this markup, and any accrual will be added to the account I use
> to pay for the 3 "no touch" alpha board distributed to the Project leaders.
> Packaging and other incidental expenses aside from postage to ship the board
> will also be deducted from the markup. I feel the Atlas is worth at least
> $10, and distributes future re-imbursements to Project leaders and designers
> across the entire user community.
> 
>  
> 
> The cost of the board to you is $10 per board plus postage. I will not be
> generating individual invoices. Please do not pay until you receive the
> board(s)
