[hpsdr] Alex and Metis Status

[Chris Smith]

Scotty

I don't know whether the hpsdr community is collectively asleep or has lost interest in Alex but not many people have yet re-registered their interest in Alex on the hamsdr web page. I hope this clearing down the list doesn't backfire!  :-)

Cheers & 73

TAPR uses the number on this list to determine how many to build.  If you are interested, please add yourself to the list so that we make enough so that everyone that wants one gets one.

Graham is re-confirming that the filters will work correctly given the data that we obtained from measurements performed on the manufactured toroids. We are checking on availability of the long lead parts to determine when we can start the production run.
