Hi,<br><br>I know there are many cards and projects on the list but I would like to ask if;<br><br>Could be possible to build a new card, similar to Mercury, but dedicated to VHF/UHF. May be based on LTC 2242-12, wich is good up to 1.2 GHz. <br><br><a href="http://www.linear.com/pc/productDetail.jsp?navId=H0,C1,C1150,P19597">http://www.linear.com/pc/productDetail.jsp?navId=H0,C1,C1150,P19597</a><br><br>That ADC is only 12bits, Is that enough?<br>It could be used mainly on 144 and 432 MHz bands, and even on 50 and 70 meters and 1200 MHz ham bands.<br>It could open new uses for HPSDR as VHF/UHF EME, Metteor Scatter, etc.<br><br>For example, new Gemini SDR from Microtelecom (Perseus) is comming with coverage up to 170 MHz (and unconditioned input up to 500 MHz).<br><br>I have no idea about SDR designs, so it is just a wish idea for future.<br><br><br>73, Máximo - EA1DDO<br><br><br><br><br> </body>
