Hi Rob

Well, I will be looking for the shipment to arrive.

Meanwhile, I have spent about 10-hours _trying_ to get my

new BeaglrBone Green to turn-on with no success. After

installing the small SD card and applying power it goes

into flashing the 4-LEDs for a few seconds and then reverts

to a steady 'heartbeat' flashing a single diode.

Instructions say to let it run until ALL LED's are either on or off.

I let run over night and still have the heartbeat winking. I removed

power, extracted the SD card and repowered the BBGreen hoping

it might respond. It didn't.

I downloaded new BBG software to the SD card AFTER wiping it.

Tries the new SW and same problem - just heartbeats after 10's of

minutes.

So the second kiwiSDR is sitting useless - nutz! I guess I will return

it to the repair center mentioned on the BBG site.

Hi Dick,

The kit left USPS Priority Mail yesterday, so you should have it tomorrow or Thursday.  I got to the build stage of winding the output filter toroids and ran out of time to finish before the HamSCI show.  

I included a Bodnar which is set to 66.66 MHz which will need to be reconfigured to output the 25 MHz required by the QDX.

Paul has designed a little input interface board and somewhere posted photos of how to install it.  

It will be great to have you join Paul on air with FST4W signals from the Northwest.

73,

Rob
