[hpsdr] Test

[Scott Cowling]

Hi Jim,

Check out this web site:

http://www.iQuadLabs.com

HPSDR boards will be available from iQuadLabs in early June.  So with 
Magister, Pennylane and Mercury available from iQuadLabs and Pandora, 
Atlas, Metis, LPU, Excalibur and Pennywhistle currently in stock at 
TAPR, you can buy a full set of hardware within about 6 weeks.

Alex will be rolling out next, anticipated in mid-to-late June.  That 
gives you all the parts for a 20W transceiver.

iQuadLabs was formed to address the very problem that you perceive. I 
believe that we will, in fact, succeed in resolving the 
problem.  Keep in mind that this problem has been ongoing since TAPR 
ran out of Penelope boards in October of 2008; in other words, two 
and a half years ago!

If you require a product produced by a company that has a paid 
support staff, then I suggest that you go with the FexRadio 
5000a.  It is a great radio. On the other hand, FlexRadio and 
openHPSDR both have hundreds of "support staff" on their mailing 
listservs. And openHPSDR hardware and software is all open source. If 
TAPR and iQuadLabs suddenly went away, you (or someone else) could 
build the hardware yourself. Or at least maintain/modify/improve it 
on your own.

Hope this schedule works out for you!

73,
Scotty WA2DFI
