<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>This is the current status of Mercury.
I have a breadboard prototype of the complete receiver working
- see photo on the Wiki. The performance figures that I have measured agree with the calculations on the Wiki.

<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>We have decided to use the latest Altera Cyclone III FPGAs and have been able to source some samples.
The use of this larger FPGA will give us plenty of room to experiment in the future.
At the moment we are expecting to deliver a
10kHz - 55MHz receiver , actually a fully independent dual receiver version,
and spectrum analyzer by the end of the year.

with additional PCB design resources we could bring this time line forward significantly.</span></font></p>

Lyle KK7P is presently working on the Alpha 2 PCB layout.
