[hpsdr] SDR-1000 interface board

[Philip Covington]

Hi all,

The reason for this post is to see if there would be any interest in
an interface board to integrate a SDR-1000 stack on to the Altlas
backplane.  What I envision doing is using the SDR-1000's TRX, BPF,
and RFE board by providing a header for the board stack ( minus the
PIO board ) to plug into this interface board.  The interface board
(which will be an Atlas plug in board) will replace the functions of
the PIO board.  This includes replacing the linear and noisy switching
regulators on the PIO board.  Control of the DDS, relays, etc.. would
come from the OZY board.  The JANUS board would be used for the sound
interface.  Connection to the PC and the PowerSDR software would be
over one USB connection only - no audio cables.

This will obviously void the SDR-1000 warranty, but many of us have
older SDR-1000 units that are either out of warranty already or have
already been modified in some other way not supported by the factory.
I have a three board stack with RFE board that is gathering dust
because of continuous problems ( mainly soldering related ) with the
PIO board.   I would like to get some use out of it.

Anyone interested in such a board?
