one of the original Beta testers of<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

line from TAPR. I originally used my<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

world with just 15 watts and used<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><font size=4 face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:14.0pt'>the G6ALU amplifier and also have the 150 watts
version but have had no need to use it as <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><font size=4 face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:14.0pt'>yet. I have a Delta Loop with about 230 feet of wire
in the loop and it works extremely well.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoPlainText><font size=4 face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:14.0pt'>to try and cure his problem so for obvious reasons
cannot spend much time at his computer. He is a true inspiration to Ham Radio
in every sense of the word as he must have spent thousands of hours on the
Hermes project as well as many others, a long list, and a labour of love.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoPlainText><font size=4 face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:14.0pt'>I cannot believe what has actually developed with the
Hermes Project over time because Kevin Wheatly M0KHZ is a very good friend of
mine and many moons ago he suggested to me over a conversation in my house to
join the HPSDR group which I did and then he said why don't you build up the
HPSDR boards and personally did not like the idea of a back plane motherboard
and pluggable boards so I said to him, Why cant we have all the HPSDR built all<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><font size=4 face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:14.0pt'>Onto one board and that REALLY got Kevin thinking and
of course from there on the PROJECT was born with a huge amount of help from
all over the planet. I only put the idea into his head so to speak.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoPlainText><font size=4 face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:14.0pt'>Everything is working fine except that I am getting
reports that there is a delay in my speech transmission, a sort of Latency I
expect and cannot find any references to this problem anywhere and wondered if
anyone could steer me in the right direction to cure this.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=4 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
14.0pt'>Just another little query,, in the older versions of Software I used to
go into External Control and check a whole number of check boxes to enable the
correct relays to switch in my Low Pass Filters for each band and now it seems
to operate perfectly without doing anything in the Ext Control area, a little
baffled as to why I don't need to check the relevant boxes anymore. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
