Dayton G2

[Mike O'Dell]

Dunno how many folks went to Dayton,
but for those who did, perchance did you
stop by the "Apache Labs Pvt Ltd" stand?

they are selling some interesting SDR hardware.
one of them is a 100 watt HF+6 SDR transceiver
with twin-channel A/D (130 MSPS) front-end and a *big*
FPGA. 14 receiver strips uses about 30% of the FPGA.
it uses GigE to speak to the host so that interconnect is
free of silliness. It also has a very thoughtfully designed
filter section which can be used to exploit the dynamic
range in the area of interest. And the board can be
populated with a *second* independent front-end string.

It's not cheap, but it is less expensive than the Flexen
and a more modern design.

it gets more entertaining every day!
