[hpsdr] Pandora's Box

[Rick Hambly (W2GPS)]

Eric,

I apologize for not updating the Gibraltar page lately. The design is based
on my commercial product and I'm not at all satisfied with the performance
of this design just now. I am trying to make two changes to the design that
will make it more appropriate for the HPSDR group and my customers. These
changes will be incorporated and published soon.

I am also stuck as I try to change from my old schematic capture program,
CIRCAD, to one of the new AMSAT-supplied programs, OrCAD or PADS.  The
learning curve is very high and I need some "quiet time" to figure out which
of these I want to use and get to know it well.  That "quiet time" is very
hard to come by lately.

DANG! I really AM asleep at the Wheel! Well that's why I threw in the
suggestion for little cover plates for the six slot Benzel. Will probably
have to shift the cards around for better spacing and separation also. I
might want to throw in an Epimetheus board also. I bet if we posted an
Ozy-Epi combo blurb on some of the FPGA hobby forums, sales and HPSDR
Membership would go through the roof!

I really have ordered 2 sets of boards, one for the Gibralter when Steve and
Rick get a chance to work on it. I have been on the Gibralter tab MANY times
watching for updates! That modular concept drawing with provisions for
optional mounted or external user supplied standards is a GEM of a project.
Hopefully they will allow 'daughter card plug in's for the expensive
oscillator part. The M12M timing GPS module seems to be a shoe-in.

Thanks
Eric

Hello Eric!

Don't forget the Penelope Arbitrary Waveform and RF Signal Generator module!
