Re: [Xylo-SDR] Aria Case... DIN41612 Backplane...
Chris
So far we don't have anything, but we will! I still have my Saxo and I still
carry it around in my laptop case, and plug it in at lunch. I must admit I
have not done much more than "Hello world" with it but if I do, it will
translate to the Lionheart.(wink) I hope lurkers are doing the same with
Xylo/Saxo. The folks doing active hardware development ARE using them.

Chris,
You are not alone!
I am also having nostalgic memories of those days. I have my Saxo
quietly waiting for me. The box for it is already purchased. It measures
10x2x7 cm. Enough space for the Saxo, the audio CODECs and perhaps some
addtional circuitry for controlling the SDR-1000 and even interfacing
with a GPS.
73,
