The Janus module

More on the HPSDR Janus and Ozy boards

Here is a ground floor opportunity for amateur radio operators interested in experimenting with Software Define Radio.

Last week TAPR announced production plans of the High Performance Software Defined Radio (HPSDR) Janus and Ozy boards.

According to the HPSDR organization, the Janus module is a very high performance, dual, full duplex, A/D and D/A converter board.

This is planned as a cost effective approach to develop a board which approaches the performance of professional high end sound cards. Paired with the Ozy board and with proper software, it can act like a very high performance sound card external to the PC.

The OZY module

The OZY module is an FPGA based interface controller card that provides the input and output connections to the real world. OZY also provides a high speed USB 2.0 interface to the controlling PC.

Interested radio amateurs should visit Dale's, WA8SRA HAMSDR website http://www.hamsdr.com/. You will need to register for full access on the site. If you are already a member and have previously expressed interest in these projects, log in and re-enter your quantities of each board.
