[hpsdr] Hermes_v3.3 released

[Phil Harman]

Hi Roland,

Thanks for the feedback. I also use my Atlas based transceiver as my main 
rig since its normally the only rig that does not have test code in it.

Also thanks for reminding me about the PL259 plugs.

I've used the standard solder on PL259 plugs for many years.  Since you have 
to apply a lot of heat to the body of the plug in order to solder the outer 
braid I'm always concerned about damaging the coax.  I much prefer the N 
type connectors which use a compression method of attaching the braid and a 
much less prone to damaging the coax.  However, at HF most rigs use PL259 
sockets.

I recently came across compression ( or Clamp) PL259 plugs on ebay.  These 
are of Chinese origin but a very well made and economical, particularly in 
10 off quantities.

There are a number of companies offering these and if you enter:

Pack 10 x UHF PL259 male clamp Plug connector for LMR400 RG8 RG213 RG214 
cable

into ebay you will find a number of suppliers.  The company I purchased from 
was called rfbat but the product looks the same from many companies.

Hi Phil,

Thanks for all the nice job you're doing for us with all the others
developers of this great team!
My HPSDR Atlas based transceiver, running since 01/2009 is still the best
piece of equipment in my shack!

I have heard you talking about nice SO239/PL239 connectors, easy to use,
could you give a link?

Happy new year to every one on the list!

Roland F8CHK

All,

I've just released Hermes_v3.3.  This fixes a problem with the Envelope
Tracking/Envelope Elimination & Restoration (ET/EER) code that generates the

envelope signal.

Unless you are working on a project that uses this signal there is no
urgency to install this release.

May I take the opportunity to wish everyone all the best for the New Year.
