[hpsdr] Minerva

[K4KV]

Hi all,

Apparently, my messages are not making the HPSDR list, as was my intention.

And, Scott, the "thats what it sounds like to me" refers to the fact 
that Apache will withhold

stuff like they did on Angelia.  Yes, it was a modification of the 
Hermes, from which they would

have never been able to do an Angelia.  I could never build my Angelia 
because no paste mask

was made available.

Just because you and others cannot or will not build their own units, 
there are plenty of us that

do.  And, if BGAs are used, I would expect that we would be offered 
boards with the BGAs and such

loaded onto them.  I have NO problem paying for that.

Let me have the tools, and I will have you a board for EVERYONE in a 
couple weeks.

My point is: it is fine for Apache to do a Minerva, but AFTER the 'open' 
part of openHPSDR is

done their bit.

And remember, I bought a 7000.

For me, it is just another disappointment, after waiting for Hermes II 
for a long time...
