Thanks to all of you for the information/guidance. This brings me to new questions. Considering the parts situation with the SDR-1000 and the unusual way it interfaces to the PC, I'm now left with the following questions:<div><br></div><div>If I go with existing TAPR kits, am I correct in thinking I need the following: (including of course, the case and power supply)</div><div><br></div><div>Atlas</div><div>Magister</div><div>Mercury (If I go with the bare board, are all parts currently available for me to put it together myself?? Does the TAPR PCB kit come with schematics and parts lists??)</div><div><br></div><div>I understand these kits will give me a complete receiver?? Would that receiver compare favorably with the Kenwood TS-480 for instance?? My initial thought would be it would be better just due to filtering if nothing else??</div><div><br></div><div>Do I "need" something like the Excalibur?</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>For a complete transmitter, I would need:</div><div>Penelope (this comes from Germany only?) I see them on eBay.</div><div>Pennywhistle </div><div><br></div><div>Would I need Alexiares??</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Thanks again for all the help</div><div><br></div><div>73</div><div><br></div><div>Harry KD0LQE</div><div><br></div> <br /><hr />Hotmail has tools for the New Busy.
