About the Penelope Module

Penelope (DUCk) 1/2-watt transmitter/exciter board is a good companion to the Mercury HF direct sampling receiver board.

The Atlas (bus) compatible Penelope transmitter uses Digital Up Conversion (DUC) techniques and process the I and Q signal from the PC (or Sasquatch DSP board) directly without the need for a sound card.

The project leader for the board is Phil VK6APH with KK7P doing the PCB layout.
