[hpsdr] Pandora's Box

[Eric Ellison]

Rick

Not a problem! I know the word Busy! I have really enjoyed reading and going
to all the 'time nut' links on John's site. For some reason I am very
attracted to having something with that kind of long term accuracy and
stability, even if it is overkill for just putting a radio on frequency. I
like the fact that the design allows for jumper selectable external input of
1 pps and 10 mhz, if you already have GPS. I was toying with buying the M12M
starter kit just to get my feet wet, but think I'll wait for Gibralter.

My family is tired of hearing me talking about 'time' and all it's
implications! For Christmas, everyone in my family got either Wooden clock
kits, Projection "atomic' clocks, even a battery clock powered by water (new
fangled 'water clock')

Thanks

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!
