[hpsdr] HPSDR New Board Production Status, 6 Aug 2009

[Henry Vredegoor]

Hi Scotty,

I currently am the proud and happy owner of a Thunderbolt GPSDO as recently
sold by TAPR.
It all works very nicely and the next step would be to integrate it in my
HPSDR setup by using Excalibur.

Since I now have a good external 10 MHz reference, would there be an option
to buy the Excalibur kit without the rather expensive TXCO like mentioned by
Graham KE9H on the Wiki?
If that would be the case what would be the aprox. price reduction?

>From the interest page I get the idea that only a full kit will be provided.


73's,

Thanks for all the good work!


Henry.
