Not at all! Phil Covington wrote most of the framework originally. However, since Phil C. apparently has no interest in developing it further as a tool for HPSDR but Phil H. does, I referred to it as Phil H.'s current effort. The intent here is to dramatically expand on Phil C.'s initial work.<br><br>I had no intent whatsoever to slight the fine programming that Phil C. has provided to us historically on many of the projects and hopefully that he will continue to provide to the community!<br><br>73, Joe K5SO<br><br><div><br><div>Begin forwarded message:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font face="Helvetica" size="3" color="#000000" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; color: #000000"><b>From: </b></font><font face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">Joe Martin K5SO <<a href="mailto:k5so@valornet.com">k5so@valornet.com</a>></font></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font face="Helvetica" size="3" color="#000000" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; color: #000000"><b>Date: </b></font><font face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">April 15, 2009 9:44:35 AM MDT</font></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font face="Helvetica" size="3" color="#000000" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; color: #000000"><b>To: </b></font><font face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica"><a href="mailto:hpsdr@hpsdr.org">hpsdr@hpsdr.org</a></font></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font face="Helvetica" size="3" color="#000000" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; color: #000000"><b>Subject: </b></font><font face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica"><b>Re: [hpsdr] (no subject)</b></font></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; min-height: 14px; "><br></div> </div><div>The fact that you're unaware of anyone else doing any software development certainly doesn't mean that no one is doing any. As a matter of fact I (and several others too) am actively helping with the initial development of Phil Harman's KISS Konsole framework code to run the HPSDR boards outside of PowerSDR. The KISS Konsole program is only in its infancy right now but the work is being done (daily) entirely in C# (as opposed to C, C++, and C# for PowerSDR) so that more people will be able to make their own changes, compile the source code, and produce executable versions with current software tools that are inexpensive. Since I'm not a professional programmer my contributions are slow go but I am spending plenty of time on it and I will see it through to completion because I want to use this program for radio astronomy as well as HF and EME communications in the end.<br><br>Granted, Bill is certainly a tower of strength for us in his monumental effort to support HPSDR via PowerSDR mods and I thank him profusely for his selfless efforts on our behalf in that regard but I also think there are many including me that would like to have another realistic option to it, something that we can realistically work on ourselves to produce specific capabilities that PowerSDR doesn't permit.<br><br>73, Joe K5SO<br><br><br>On Apr 15, 2009, at 8:57 AM, Philip Covington wrote:<br><blockquote type="cite"><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite">Changing the verilog in Penelope, Mercury, and Ozy is only part of the<br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite">work to be done.
