Not another Satellit 900 fiasco, I hope...

It was Pete KE9OA. Remember, this is to be from a company that isn't
in the market already. I get the impression that if the receiver happens
it's because Pete is working on it himself.

From July 24th to this newsgroup:

I don't have a picture of this unit. Right now, I am working
seven days a week on a couple of projects at work. This will
go on for the next couple of months. To get this prototype up
an running, I was averaging 3 hours of sleep a night for a week
straight. Last night was the first time I slept for 8 hours. In
another week, I will start the Fractional N synthesizer design.

In other words, he's working on various things at work, and it seems
like the shortwave receiver is lower priority. Around the same time,
I'm sure he said something about the receiver was going on the backburner
for a while, but I've not tried to see if there is a message to that effect.


Actually, that thread back in July was started by you too. If you're
so curious about this receiver, you should at least keep track of the
details. Seeing that you started that older thread, and the tone of
both, I now suspect you are less interested in the receiver than in
pointing out it's "not here yet".
