Hi Lyle!
Rob! And all. I've been following this thread with interest and $426 is not
that much. The HPSDR reflector is an 'unorganized EXCITING force!' Does
AMSAT and Rick Hambly license this package? If not, can we get together with
a group buy for the tools? I think many here would gladly contribute to
obtaining licenses for these exciting hardware parts, and those folk with
interest and capability to grow it!

AMSAT does have several TI user licenses for AMSAT & HPSDR use. The
6713 is planned for the SDX on Phase-3E satellite as being developed by
Howard Long, G6LVB. This SDX will perform several simultaneous tasks:<br>
<ol>
<li>SDX Linear Transponder from 79 cm to 2M (see <a
href="http://gpstime.com/files/amsat/SDX_and_Future_AMSAT_Missions.pdf">http://gpstime.com/files/amsat/SDX_and_Future_AMSAT_Missions.pdf</a>)<br>
</li>
<li>"STELLA" (see <a
href="http://www.g6lvb.com/Articles/STELLA/index.htm">http://www.g6lvb.com/Articles/STELLA/index.htm</a>)<br>
</li>
<li>"HELAPS" (see Pg 6 in <a
href="http://gpstime.com/files/amsat/SDX_and_Future_AMSAT_Missions.pdf">http://gpstime.com/files/amsat/SDX_and_Future_AMSAT_Missions.pdf</a>).</li>
</ol>
If you have a valid, suitable HPSDR project and plan to adhere to the
HPSDR/AMSAT/TAPR open architecture standards, contact Rick Hambly <<a
href="mailto:w2gps@amsat.org">mailto:w2gps@amsat.org</a>> directly
to obtain a licensed copy of the full-blown TI software.<br>
