[hpsdr] TAPR Hermes J15 problem?

[Bruce Beford]

Tim, There is no "plan" per se, for the "extraction" of the signals from
Hermes to the outside world. That is "an exercise left to the reader", as
there are so many possibilities. Some will package Hermes with amplifiers,
filters, antenna switching etc all in one container. Others may prefer a
more modular approach, with Hermes in one case, and external packaging of
other components. As such, it is up to you (and all other users) to decide
what meets your/their needs, and make the needed connections as you/they see
fit.

HPSDR is not intended to be plug and play. It is a high-performance,
experimental platform that provides the maximum flexibility so -your- ideas
can be implemented as -you- wish.

Above all, have fun!
73,
Bruce, N1RX

We can install headers FB, what is plan on getting signals out of Hermes?
Seems like we need some sort of panel jack arrangement to make an
uncluttered connection. We could us a DB15 and incorporate all the Alex
signals in one Jack.
Maybe a small Din recepticle(s).
