What are the Objectives of the Hermes Project?
A. http://openhpsdr.org/hermes.html Hermes is simply the Mercury, Penelope and Atlas on one board with one FPGA. It also includes the signal processing circuitry from Excalibur so an external 10MHz reference (which can be GPS locked) can be used. We do not see Hermes as the ultimate project, just a convenient version in a small package. Since there is no equivalent to the Atlas bus it does not support the expansions capabilities of Mercury. Penelope etc. Hermes is designed to be an experimental platform to encourage future development. Hermes is NOT a commercial turn-key product. If you are looking for a full featured out-of-the-box SDR transceiver, you should look at the units from Flex-Radio or similar companies.
