<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Kjell -</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The new Hermes project sounds very
good.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm wondering, though, about preselection filters
for the Rx. Your mention of a Hermes together in a 2-slot box with a
new Apollo suggests there will be no room for another board similar to the Alex
Rx board.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I suspect there would be no room to
incorporate preselection filters on the Hermes board. Personally, I would
favor leaving out the 2M circuitry in favor of VHF preselection, although I
doubt that would free up enough room.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Perhaps another option would be to include the
preselection filters on the new Apollo board...?</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
