in the Projects section on Hamsdr website under the TAPR/HAMSDR project tab. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

font-family:Arial'>This week I ordered boards and parts, including buss wire
for a total kit of parts. This project will ONLY be offered as an entire kit.
It will include the board, the male and female DIN connectors and 5’ of
buss wire for test points. The boards and parts are all RoHS compliant.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I will do the first 141 orders and shipments in the same
manner I did the round 1 Atlas, since that is the most efficient method to fill
that quantity of ‘orders’. After the first 141 are shipped, TAPR
will fill future orders. This will allow John – W9DDD to focus on
the upcoming Janus/Ozy projects which are in discussion. The HPSDR group owes
John a vote of gratitude for doing the research, ordering, and shipping of
Atlas parts kits and now Atlas boards! He has done a splendid job single-handedly!<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

font-family:Arial'>I do not have Pinocchio pricing at this time, till I get
shipments, and coordinate with TAPR. There will be ‘split’ pricing
for TAPR members and non-members. If you are into HPSDR it WILL pay to join this
fine organization, and it’s trivial dues! Future project boards will be
offered entirely by TAPR, in the format they choose. Any accrual I realize will
go directly back into the HPSDR project either directly or through TAPR. (Hey!
I’m TAPR too, since I R a member).<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

brilliant project GOING –> “To the Future of Radio”. We
have MANY on this list who are doing the same. As a team we WILL be in the
forefront of technology. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
