[hpsdr] Fwd: Re: Minerva

[K4KV]

Warren,

I apologize to all.  I missed the emails where the openhpsdr group
approached US for help with

producing the hardware.

I also intend to contact TAPR to see why they refused to make the
hardware, that seems completely

out of character for them.

Certainly, an open-source hardware and software group would not JUMP
immediately to a commercial

manufacturer as it's first choice.

I also said before that I was willing to contribute some money to help
defray development costs, but no one

asked me..., so, sorry, I missed all those discussions here.

I simply don't have the time to both develop the software that I have developed and expect to continue to develop and to also build and assemble the hardware.  Having Apache deal with the hardware "burden" is fantastic from my perspective.  (And Yes, I have built a lot of hardware in the past.)
