<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi guys,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm about to place my order for at least one Janus
and one Ozy, but I need some help in assessing whether I need to order more or
not.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I would like to use Ozy and Janus to work with my
SDR-1000, for which I will need need one of each. The issue arrises as Mercury
and some other exciting concepts come to fruition that I may or may not be
interested in exploring. Assuming I do eventually order the Mercury and say the
Penelope boards, I will need Ozy as well to have a functioning system. My
question is the following:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Can I leave the Mercury and Penelope boards
mounted to Atlas when I use my HPSDR (Ozy and Janus) to work with my SDR-1000,
or do I need to remove them from Atlas first? As I understand it, I should be
able to, as the software loaded into Ozy will tell it to only work with Janus
and ignore anything else, right?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Stated alternatively, can I use my HPSDR (Ozy,
Mercury, Penelope, ...) without removing Janus from Atlas? What I'm trying to
assess here is whether it is just a matter of loading the correct software into
Ozy (and other cards as required) for the desired functionality, or will the
various (unexpected) signals on the Atlas bus interfer?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>BTW, the same question holds for Mercury/Penelope
versus Horton or Phoenix, or Phoenix, etc.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks,</FONT></DIV>
