[NLRS] Help for ground terminal for 5 and 10 GHz.

[Gregg Lind]

I saw this in the ARRL newsletter this month maybe some folks from the this
group may be interested?

Back in February, AMSAT announced it is seeking volunteers
<http://www.arrl.org/news/amsat-seeks-volunteers-to-support-phase-4-five-and-dime-ground-terminal-effort>
to
assist with the technical details and development of Phase 4 "Five and Dime"
<http://www.amsat.org/?p=4945> ground terminals. The satellite will be
using the 5 and 10 GHz bands, with an underlying digital transmission
transport layer. The technical details are to be "open source," and the
project's source files are kept on Github. It's interesting to read the weekly
progress reports
<https://github.com/phase4ground/documents/tree/master/Management/Weekly_Engineering_Reports>
in
that portion of the repository, and some of the source code for various DSP
receivers that will eventually be posted may find crossover application for
controlling skimmer hardware.
