[hpsdr] Mercury sees first RF here

[Eric Ellison]

Hi Bob.

Well I got #1 (smile), so you can scratch that! He is beautiful! Since I am
mostly a listener of late, will hook him up to my audio system in the house
so I can listen to CW while gardening! Probably need a blue tooth!
(Decadence!)

Youse guys spoil me! Keep up the innovation!

Thanks
Santa's on his way. Check out NORAD my grandchildren love it every year.
Looks like he has already been over Asia and Australia
"CU at Dayton!"

I am looking forward to it,  #1 or #5001.

Waaaaaaa.  Lucky stiffs.

A billion thanks to Phil's, Bill's, Scott's, Lyle's, John's and others for
all the great work.  It is neat to have a system to try stuff on now.


Season's greetings to one and all.

The Mercury board worked right out of the box here. The only thing I  
noticed so far that I am concerned about is that it seems to be much  
more sensitive to impulse noise than any thing I have ever  
experienced. I live near a high voltage line and I think that is the  
source. My TS-2000 is not hearing them and my MFJ noise meter is not  
hearing them in the shack, but even with a dummy load on,  the Mercury  
is hearing a couple of pops a second in a random sequence. Turning on  
both noise blankers helps a lot, but still hearing muffled pops. That  
is something I will take up with the power company.
