[hpsdr] Long time subscriber, first time owner... where do I start?

[John C. Westmoreland, P.E.]

Michael,

I see this wasn't answered - at least not on the listserver - there are
docs here:

http://openhpsdr.org/documents.php

You want to look at the PowerSDR set-up for sure.

TAPR git-hub has latest:
https://github.com/TAPR/OpenHPSDR-PowerSDR/releases

You may need to upgrade firmware - maybe not:
https://github.com/TAPR/OpenHPSDR-Firmware

You should peruse this when you have time:
https://github.com/TAPR/OpenHPSDR-SVN

Look Here:
http://openhpsdr.org/wiki/index.php?title=HPSDRwiki:Community_Portal
http://openhpsdr.org/wiki/index.php?title=Hardware_Introduction
http://openhpsdr.org/wiki/index.php?title=Quick_Startup_Guide_(Windows)

Some of this is a little dated - but the more you read, the better.
Do you happen to have someone close to you by any chance that has a setup -
having an Elmer would be useful.

73's,
John
