Thanks!

Phil has given all of us a fair shot at a tangible design and I think we all
agree that it is a good foundation for going forward. He has also
incorporated the reasonable ideas we have offered.

Here is what I suggest:

You, myself, Lyle Johnson, Phil Covington go to PM and make a decision on
which company of those suggested to produce the board. Perhaps we could
coordinate a private Teamspeak session Saturday to make it more efficient.

We will be the Benevolent Dictators to get this to production ASAP without
vote. The Atlas is the "Appian Way" of his project!

I'll upfront the $ for the initial run and distribute at cost.

I have already asked Dale - WA8SRA to create a "Project Order Form" on
Hamsdr website. (Thanks again Dale!). I already have orders for 3 boards
without any of us participating (Don't e-mail me, you will have to use the
order form on Dale's fine website, and sign up if you have not already!)

I'll generate a PM to you guys. Sorry to others for narrowing it down.

Thanks
Eric

Eric-

I agree. I looked over the Gerbers briefly and they look pretty good to
me (at least from a quick look). Phil seems to have captured all the
important stuff at this point. After alpha testing if something needs to
change then let's do it then. In the meantime "blue wire" mods will do
wonders! Feature creep can go on forever.

It looks like the pricing is fairly equal amongst the 'known entity'
shops that people have used and are pleased with. There are at least a
couple low-price options available (like 5$ versus $50) but their level
of goodness is an unknown quantity. (usually if something sounds too
good to be true it is...) I guess we need to decide which route to go
and place an order.

It would probably be a good idea to run the files thru one of the online
file checkers to see if there are any major file syntax problems or
other incompatibilities.

Phil

I agree let's lock it down and go for Alpha at least. "Feature Creep"
will
kill us otherwise. There is time for more features after an alpha run. 

Ray Watsa?

Thanks
Eric

Ok, but we have to lock this down somewhere...

I added T9 which brings out the PWR_OK signal from J19.
