(PDT)<BR><BR>Quoting Bob Burns K4RXR:<BR><BR>> Could someone post a status
update? What's being developed and what's<BR>> the timeframe? Not looking for
firm dates, but are we talking weeks,<BR>> months, years?<BR><BR>Hi
Bob,<BR><BR>I understand that you, like a lot of those new to the HamHUD
group, <BR>want to know what's next for HamHUD and the
timeframe.<BR><BR>Unfortunately, when new developments are announced, some
people <BR>immediately start bugging the designers with questions like
"when will <BR>it be ready?" and "will it have such-and-such
feature?" Also, more <BR>and more the ham community expects
new collaborative projects to <BR>approach commercial quality at release,
the bugs already worked out. <BR>For these reasons and others, I've
been reticent to announce the new <BR>HamHUD developments that I and
others have been busily working on <BR>behind the scenes.<BR><BR>Another
reason new developments haven't been talked up is that several
<BR>different parties are working on them. There really isn't a
single <BR>point of contact between these disparate teams; Dale Seaburg
and I <BR>have some involvement in all four developments, but we really
didn't <BR>want to speak for the teams.<BR><BR>That being said, it
probably is about time to establish timeline goals <BR>for the HamHUD
development projects, and to at least let the HamHUD <BR>user base know
that something is cooking. I encourage the <BR>development
teams to think about doing that.<BR><BR>So, here's what I'm going to do:
I'll state a brief description of <BR>the four development efforts I know
about. I'll then give a short <BR>status of the one I know the most
about, and let the team leaders of <BR>the other three efforts give some
status, if they are inclined to do so.<BR><BR>Here are the four, in no certain
order:<BR><BR>1. HamHUD III. This is Juergen DB3TB's baby, and I'll
let him talk <BR>about it as much or as little as he likes. Dale
KG5LT has been <BR>involved here, too. I will say that what I've
seen of this project is <BR>VERY impressive.<BR><BR>2. HamHUD
SDR. A multiband software radio / TNC / video HamHUD / <BR>system
hub. Steve KA9MVA is working the technical end of this one, <BR>with
Dale KG5LT, Tony KD7TA and Jason KE4NYV consulting on specs and
<BR>functionality. It will be interoperable with HamHUD II and III,
or <BR>useful by itself with any NTSC/PAL video monitor. No laptop
or PC <BR>will be needed for the software radio functionality (unlike
the <BR>FlexRadio SDR-1000), just a memory stick. Status: parts of
the HamHUD <BR>SDR testbed are running, but I don't want to say much more
than that. <BR>Preliminary release goal is the 2007 Hamvention, but
don't quote me on <BR>that.<BR><BR>3. HamHUD II KISS Support
Firmware. Dale KG5LT and Curt WE7U are <BR>working on this.
How about an update, guys?<BR><BR>4. HamHUD II Rev E Kits / Firmware
Support. Jason KE4NYV, Juergen <BR>DB3TB, and Dale KG5LT did a great
job on the last run of kits. One or <BR>more of you might want to
comment on whether you are interested in <BR>another run of HH2RE kits, or
waiting for HamHUD III and HamHUD SDR.<BR><BR>If I have left any effort out,
please chime in and correct me.<BR><BR>73,<BR><BR>Steve Bragg KA9MVA<BR>--
