[hpsdr] TAPR HPSDR Manufacturing Update

[Scott Cowling]

Hi all,

Here is a quick TAPR HPSDR manufacturing update:

Pennywhistle 20W PA kit - Now in stock and shipping.

Excalibur Frequency reference kit - First batch of kits completed 
(thanks Steve, N5EN and Walter, K5WH!) and enoute to TAPR. Order page 
will open soon.

Magister USB interface (assembled) - The Magister USB interface is in 
production now (thanks Lyle!).  This board is a USB 2.0 interface 
that replaces the no longer available Ozy board. Parts have been 
ordered and assembly has been scheduled. Magister should be available 
before the end of the year. You can go here for a detailed 
differences list between Ozy and Magister:

Mercury receiver, Janus A/D-D/A, Atlas backplane kit, LPU power 
supply kit, Pandora enclosure are all in stock and shipping.

Alex filter boards - testing is nearly complete on the purchased 
toroids. Some capacitor values and turns counts are being adjusted 
for best performance given that the production core material is 
slightly different from the material used to prototype Alex. Look for 
another update in a few weeks, but I hope that we will be open for 
pre-orders before the end of the year.
