  Hi Ahti,

    you should say that to the Italian Custom.... the
parcel was 
delivered at my house by a courier that presented me
an 
invoice with the amount they had paid to the Custom
office. Of course 
they would give me the two packets only after I 
had paid them the same amount... I think I have no way
to get that 
money back... in Italy bureaucracy has reached a 
state of art in itself. Probably I could have that
money back only 
after a few years of legal actions, and with expenses 
on my side that would exceed by far the amount that I
would, 
eventually, receive back...
Thanks Mr. Prodi with all my heart... now, when the
next political 
elections are scheduled for ?

Hi Guys,

Dare I say it, but the Ozy/Janus PowerSDR Operating manual is about as ready
as it is going to get at this stage. However, I have no upload privileges to
the WIKI. I'd appreciate it if someone who has would email me off list, so I
can send them the PDF file for upload.

This is revision 1 of the manual. We have tried to be as complete as
possible, but as is usually the case with hardware/software systems, I'm
sure there will be issues. All I can say is that I have a run of the mill
Dell PC and no more than a very basic understanding of Ozy/Janus. I followed
the directions as I received them, documented them and was able to
initialize Ozy/Janus and now have Ozy controlling my SDR-1000. (Because I
installed the Delta-44 interface board inside my SDR-1000, I need a 15-pin
D-Sub for the audio connections, which I don't have yet).

The fact that it went pretty effortlessly is in large part due to Phil
Covington, Phil Harman, Lyle Johnson, Bill Tracey, Scotty Cowling & his team
and TAPR (I hope I didn't leave anyone out). All I can say is WOW - you guys
are truly amazing.

If you have any comments on the manual (once its on the WIKI), please direct
them to the reflector. I will be leaving for Dayton soon and probably not
get to them until I get back. (And hey, don't forget, I'm only the messenger
:-).

Need - no, it is a nice to have.  If you have a good 10 Mhz reference 
then use it, if not no problem.   The CPLD is setup to lock the 12 
Mhz VCXO to the 10 MHz reference if one is supplied.  If not, it will 
supply  Vcc/2 as the control signal to the VCXO, so it will be close 
to the nominal frequency.

Bill (kd5tfd)

I'd second that. :)  SDR also allows for the multitude of standards 
to be easily implemented, whether we use a commercial standard (e.g. 
DVB-T as is used on broadcast TV here), or something else.

Mercury and DTV sounds an interesting prospect.

Meanwhile, still waiting for my Ozy, Janus and Atlas to arrive, guess 
they won't be too far off.
