[DSP-10] GPS Standard : HPZ3801A or Shera project ?

[Bob Larkin]

Hi Jimmy and all,

Just to be the devil's advocate, I think $400, or whatever, for the Shera
approach, is cheap tuition for what we learn from putting the whole thing
together and getting it working! Besides, I think your package looked really
nice!

Of course, we can't go to every school course, so the HP package has a lot
to offer!
