I am wondering about the \nSDX/HELAPS on the multiple amplifier version. It will be easier for \nDick to cool but harder for our HELAPS so that is the note of caution I \nsound. I like everything about it except contemplating that. Our \nHELAPS will be sensor based and heavily dependent on predistortion to \nachieve the best performance. We might be pushing the SDX/HPSDR \nSasquatch to the limit controlling three amplifiers. If we really are \ngoing to try to get total DC efficiency well over 50% for the \ntransponder and get good IMD, we will need the polyphase DSP HELAPS to \nwork.\n\nThese E/I curves are looking really good if the simulation approaches \nreality. I would like comments ASAP for Marc.\n\nWe are getting well down the road on the HPSDR developments. When Lyle \ngets back from Oz, that project should take a leap forward. A bunch \nof our SDX hardware will be from that project (in prototype form).\n\nBob\n\n\n\nDick Jansson-rr wrote:\n> Tom has an intesting suggestion of the 3x amplifiers/antennas.
