<p class=MsoNormal>Hello to everybody,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>my winter project is finally completed. After
several hours seeing the world through a microscope HPSDR is running very well.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Of course, I run in some traps - like
the Penelope’s output transformer rotation issue – I should have
read the erratas …<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>But assembling the components was a lot of
fun (ok, soldering the LTC2208 was a real challenge) !<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Especially Gerd’s boards have a very
high quality, so soldering was not a big problem ( as I thought before)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>My question about Metis is: I have many
parts left from the project incl. altera’s Ep3…<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Does anybody know, if the bare board will be
available in the future?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>A short introduction:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>I’m an electrical engineer, 46 years
old, studied communication Systems in Germany and in Knoxville/TN<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Licensed since 2005<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>My interest are digital signal processing,
hardware-design and programming – manly in C++ (I somehow lost the track
to C# and .Net but hope to catch up) <o:p></o:p></span></p>
