[hpsdr] Some thoughts on plug-in board layout

[Lyle Johnson]

Hello Steve!

I haven't taken the time to study the drawing yet.  I took a micrometer 
to my connector, got the shell left edge set back as near as I could 
tell from Phil C's drawing, and then let the PCB layout tool tell me 
where pin 1 is.

I *must* get this Janus layout out of my thinning hair and get back to 
my paying job!  The rent is coming due...

73,

> Well, you are not going to like this.  I am not getting X = 3.925" (I do get Y = 0.210").  By my measurement, if the datum is the lower left of the "external connector area" then pin A1 is located at X = 4.115", Y = 0.210".

If the DIN plug is centered in the middle of this card, and set it there, and then extend the PCB in the direction of the "external connector area" we add 15 mm more.  But this 15 mm is not taken into account for the card size?  This confuses me.  This card then is 115 mm wide by 100 mm tall.
