[hpsdr] Mercury Receiver Board

[Noel Welstead]

Hi Phil,
That's very encouraging. I have just received (today) a rubidium time
standard (10 mhz) for this project. Where is the best place to source
these boards (fully assembled) as I will get things underway ASAP.
I noticed a picture on the Winrad web site that shows what appears to be a 
PC
power supply hooked up to the Atlas backplane (without LPU), so is the 
system
able to be powered in this way? link(

Sorry for all the questions but once I get underway I hope to be able to 
feed
info back to group and become a resource.
Thanks again.
regards Noel Welstead.
