[hpsdr] Boards: FREE

[Chris Smith]

Hi

I don't have a junk box any more having lost interest in ham radio  
some years ago and then moved house. The junk box went the same way as  
the rest of the junk you don't want to move from house to house.

Then I discovered HPSDR and had my interest re-kindled.

I'm patiently waiting for Pennywhistle & Alex.

I would vote for a board populated with all *BUT* the toroids and  
would try and source those locally - given the specifications. I'm not  
thrilled with the idea of winding 30-odd toroids but will have a go  
despite the fact that my eyesight and fingers aren't what they used to  
be.

I'm not going to add up the outlay on this project - I really don't  
want to know. I just know it is worth every penny.

My thanks go to everyone involved with this wonderful project. You  
really have got me interested in ham radio again after over a decade  
of disinterest.
