[hpsdr] Gibraltar?????

[Phil Harman]

Hi Horst,

I think that enthusiasm is still high amongst the developers we are simply 
lacking volunteers to do some of the work e.g. PCB layout and PowerSDR/DttSP 
programming.  We have a prototype Penelope working and will shortly be 
moving to Alpha2 of the PCB. We have at least two prototype Mercury 
receivers running both of which are being used as main receivers with 
excellent results.  'Alex' is nearing completion of the specification stage 
and will be open for public comment shortly.

Ramakrishnan is about to start work on using Ozy to emulate a USB Blaster so 
we can program other boards via the Atlas bus using JTAG. I'm busy writing a 
book on DSP and SDR for the RSGB.

There are even more exciting things in the development phase but we want to 
clear some of the current projects before adding them to the list.

It's possible there is a simpler solution to Gibraltar now there are timing 
GPS receivers available that can provide a 10MHz locked output. Again we 
need someone to test one of these to see if it is a suitable solution.

So in summary  developer excitement - high,  volunteer support - low!
