[hpsdr] Is anyone doing a Hermes Mini-Circuits group buy

[Reid Campbell]

Hi All,

I went on the Mini-Circuits UK web site to check prices for an European 
group buy. I reckon that £33 would cover the cost including VAT, P&P and 
Paypal fees. I just need to confirm with Mini-Circuits that their prices 
did include VAT.

This was based on 20 people in the buy and would avoid the 
administration fees in collecting VAT on entry into the EU. I was 
charged ~£13 (£5 Vat + £8 collection fee) for my Hermes board.

Hopefully this will help with the over all group buy decision.

There is also confusion over the need for 2 RLP-50+ filters or 1 RLP-50+ 
and a RLP-40+. Looking at the schematics, the Tx path has a RLP-40+ but 
the BOM that I down loaded describes 2 RLP-50+.

Cheers

Reid.
