[hpsdr] Some Hermes Options for complete transceiver

[Tim O'Rourke]

All

There has been some chatter on what is needed to Hermes into a 10 watt or 100 watt tranciever. There are options already in place if you want to be creative, isn't this why we are hams! 
You can use Penelope or Pennywhistle along with Alex filters with Hermes and have a 10-15 watt xceiver.
You can use Munin and Alex filters with Hermes and have a 100 watt rig. (My Plan)
I believe you could use Hercules and Hermes and have a 100 watt rig. Gerd may have some PCB's around, finals are hard to find but availabe. (I have Hercules so this is My back up Plan)

Some of you already have these bits around or could have them in place by October.

Just some thoughts about currently available options that could be in place and ready for Hermes when it hits your door in October.
