<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=828324305-17042007>When studying the
new block diagram of Mercury on the Wiki pages, I noticed that the
configuration of the analog HF input path has changed.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=828324305-17042007>Would it be an idea
to bring the input to the ADC out on a separate connector, bypassing the
on-board filtering, HF amps etc. and enabling it to be used as a
"bare" ADC board for e.g.. under sampling of 2 meter (0,7 cm)
VHF etc. <FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=828324305-17042007>(The input
bandwidth of the ADC going up to 700 MHz) </SPAN></FONT>or with a complete
different set of HF amps, filters etc?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=828324305-17042007>Maybe include a
(bypassable) 1:4 broadband transformer to step up from 50 to the ADC's 200
Ohm impedance?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
