I thought I would put together a 2m-70cm subset of the ACP system, running
at slower rates on the downlink and with fewer channels but have it ready to
show at Atlanta.
Matt was kind enough to modify his 70cm RF board to do 70cm and in parallel.
I do not think this will be even a lot of work to do and we can see a
tangible result with this. 16-32 channels of uplink and map to TDM for the
downlink should be achievable...
For awhile now I've been thinking that a design challenge would be a good idea. Lay out the system requirements and constraints in general terms, then open the door for working models. Individuals, small groups, large groups, anybody is encouraged to make a submission, subject only to agreeing to make any software or hardware Open.
Even better, lay out requirements and constraints for several tiers of systems. As submissions, working models are required, but simulations of large chunks are OK.
