[DSP-10] Building the DSP10

[Courtney Duncan]

Hi David,

For a hair raising blow-by-blow account of one person's construction 
experience, check out my website:

http://home.earthlink.net/%7En5bf/dsp10ci.html and
http://home.earthlink.net/%7En5bf/dsp10.html

I have a second unit here but still plan to build it so I can work 
satellite full duplex (and have a spare!).

The news at AMSAT this week is that they are getting in on a new, 
open-source platform, the "HPSDR" (http://hpsdr.org/).  I just 
scanned over the presentation so don't know how closely this new 
project relates to the DSP-10 community.  I'm giving a paper at the 
San Francisco AMSAT Symposium in October about this so maybe I'll 
find out while I'm there.

With two requests for more kits here, maybe someone will come out of 
the woodwork with a spare.  Or maybe TAPR can be persuaded to kit up 
a few dozen more.  This is the future, after all!

good luck and 73, Courtney, n5bf/6
