[hpsdr] Advice on completing system

[Bob Cowdery]

Hi,

I've been running Metis, Mercury and Pennylope up to now just sitting on
a frame with a PC power supply.

I have as kits:
Alex RX and TX boards
Alex enclosure
PennyWhistle
Pandora enclosure
LPU

I can't believe how long these have been sitting on a shelf. Some bought
in 2009 and the rest in 2011.

I've downloaded all the relevant PDF's and really need to know if these
are sufficient or is there anything else I need to know or be aware of.

I'm guessing I should skip the LPU as it probably won't drive the
completed system. I also bought about the same time a Pico PSU which
although tiny I believe will be adequate?

I know that Pennylope was superseded by Pennylane. Are there any gotchas
with Pennylope?

Anything to watch with the enclosures and hooking it all up?

Thanks for any advice.
