[hpsdr] Looking for guidance

[Scott Cowling]

Hi Berndt,

Just to let you and the HPSDR community know, there has been 
sufficient interest shown on the interest list to convince Dan and me 
to go ahead with plans to make HPSDR boards available as TAPR stocks 
run out.  The initial offering will be Magister, Mercury and Pennylane.

Metis, the Gig-E interface, is on TAPR's agenda for production in 
about the same time frame.  My estimate is that all of the 
Atlas-based HPSDR boards will be again be available for you to build 
a complete radio shortly after the first of the year.

Alex pre-orders will also be started by TAPR in this time-frame. It 
is going to be a busy first quarter!

Dan and I will be making an announcement as soon as we get the 
details ironed out.

So hang on just a bit longer, it is coming.

73,
Scotty WA2DFI
