Just an update

SharpDevelop:

There is a new build of SharpDevelop available at:

http://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SD/

Not a lot of changes - just bugfixes...

DipTrace:

Check out this new low cost Schematic Editor/PCB Layout program at:

http://www.diptrace.com

I have tried Eagle, PCBExpress, and others... DipTrace has then all beat in ease of use. You can dowload a fully functional 30 day trial from the website. Or there is a freeware version also. The developers are very responsive to suggestions for features/improvements. I highly recommend this software.

SoftRock40:

I received the SoftRock40 with PCM2900 CODEC from Tony Parks this weekend. I will start on modifying the SharpDSP enabled console to make a specific release for the SoftRock40. I will also correct the sample offset bug in the PCM2900 CODEC.

FPGA/USB Board:

I am in the process of laying out the PCB. I am using DipTrace for the Schematic entry and PCB layout. This will become a open source hardware/firmware SDR project. Stay tuned to my website for more info...

History of HPSDR Mercury and Quick Silver

History of HPSDR Mercury and Quick Silver Philip Covington, N8VB Early HPSDR and XYLO In 2005 I started a High Performance SDR (HPSDR) project which was to consist of a motherboard carrying a FPGA/USB 2.0 interface and power supply with the provision for plug in modules through 40 pin headers. I had planned a narrow band high dynamic range module based on a QSD/DDS/PCM4202 audio ADC and a wide bandwidth module based on a high speed 16 bit ADC: http://www.philcovington.com/SDR/PICS/HPSDR_FPGA_USB_Board_top1_800600.jpg http://www.philcovington.com/SDR/PICS/HPSDR_FPGA_USB_Board_top4.jpg I soon selected the LTC2208 ADC from Linear Technology. A representative from Linear Technology came across my blog ( http://pcovington.blogspot.com/ ) and offered evaluation boards and samples to support the project. At about the same time my HPSDR project came about, Phil Harman, VK6APH and Bill Tracey, KD5TFD were interested developing a sound card replacement to be used with the SD
