[hpsdr] Mercury performance

[K1rqg at aol.com]

I have been using my HPSDR system for my main HF rig on 75 and 20  meters
with excellent performance. Tonight, I was tuning around on 6 meters with  my
FT-847 and came across a beacon S-2 signal strength. I quickly  connected
the 6 meter beam to the Mercury board and tuned in the beacon, and to my 
amazement, better copy with Mercury. I could not see any artifacts. I did  
not 
spend a lot of time, but just wanted to report that this thing rocks on 6  
meters 
as well. 
 
I do have questions regarding frequency accuracy (calibration), RX EQ and 
a few more small items, but will be patient with the rollout.
 
I am concerned (or should I be?) about the temperature of the LTC2008 
running around 127 degrees F. It is noticeably warmer than any of the other 
boards (devices). Is this a concern?
 
73 and thanks again to all!
