<DIV><SPAN class=844193111-25122007><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Since
this message appears to have not been answered (-yet), on the Reflector at
least, and this question is being asked before, here is what little
I know of the status of Mercury:</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=844193111-25122007><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff

wrong)</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=844193111-25122007><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>From a
Teamspeak session ( of 10-NOV-2007, witch I was not able to find
anymore at <A href="http://www.hamsdr.com">www.hamsdr.com</A>, sorry no
pointer ) I understood that the (code-) development phase of
Mercury is more or less finalized.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=844193111-25122007><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>The
team is indeed waiting for a PCB layout by Lyle, who, - unfortunately for us-
seemed to be very busy with the K3 and other commercial activity's, but
seemed to be available for HPSDR development later that month / this
year.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial><FONT size=2><FONT color=#0000ff><SPAN

<DIV><FONT face=Arial><FONT size=2><FONT color=#0000ff><SPAN
class=844193111-25122007>Since Penelope and especially Alex (antenna-
and bandpass filter switching) are closely related to Mercury, a
decision seems to have to be made by TAPR to release Penelope first as a single
unit or later as a combo of
Mercury/Penelope/Alex.</SPAN></FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=844193111-25122007><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>But
this is the status of 7 weeks ago (10 November), maybe there is already
more progress.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
