[hpsdr] DSO Quad and Bus Pirate arrived

[Terry Fox]

I received my DSO Quad a couple of months ago.  I know there are some 
owners who are fairly unhappy with the Quad for two reasons: 1) the 
analog bandwidth is much less than they assumed (3dB much less than 
10MHz, even though sampling is supposed to be 72MHz), and 2) the menu 
system is clunky and awkward.  I've seen work being done on both 
issues.  I'm not sure that all the source is available yet, last I 
looked the FPGA code may not have been available.

But, I really like mine, and have shown it to a couple of ham clubs.  
For $200, I think it's a winner!  You have to know how to use it, and 
what the limitations are, however.  Plus, some people are never happy.
