[TangerineSDR] DCC discussion list

[Nathaniel A. Frissell Ph.D.]

Hi Tom,

Thank you very much for putting this list together. I’ve been talking with Bill and Phil in a side discussion about the Control and Local Host specification documents, and we were thinking about having a review meeting of those documents on Friday evening during the happy hour. Maybe we can have a discussion on these points, too?

In regards to HamSCI 2020, I’m actively working on selecting a venue. I think the most likely choices at the moment are University of Scranton or Goddard Space Flight Center. There are a number of moving pieces at the moment. I’m hopeful (although that may be pushing it) that I can have a definitely answer by DCC.

On Saturday morning, I’ll be giving an overview/update talk on the project. Hopefully I can incorporate some the answers to these questions in the talk.

Subject: [TangerineSDR] DCC discussion list

I've combed the meeting notes and some other thoughts and put together a frist draft of possible DCC discussion topics for HAMSCI / TangerineSDR.
Please review and send me additions, deletions, changes, etc. by Monday the 16th and I'll iterate once before the conference.

HAMSCI project discussion Topics for DCC 2019

1.    Need cost estimates for the Clock, DE, RF, and Magnetometer modules.
2.    What is the schedule for the modules, testing, prototypes?
   a.    Data Engine
   b.    2-chan RF receiver
   c.    GPS Clock
   d.    Magnetometer
   e.    Other ? SBC, Power supply, etc.
3.    Each module will have a unique manufacturer serial number based on some PROMs that have this capability. Any issues with the number or format?
4.    Do we need to create any videos describing what the project is, what the objectives are, status, or other?
5.    No discussion so far on power supplies, other than a request for +12V battery power capable. Do we need a plan?
6.    HAMSCI 2020
   a.    Any more information on the location?
   b.    Should we plan a demo of TangerineSDR or the completed parts?
7.    Receive Antennas. Mike Pappas has acquired a calibrated filed strength meter, we discussed seeing if DX Engineering would let us measure a production lot of antennas (10?) to determine the field strength sensitivity and variance.
8.    Do we need a test plan for the system?
9.    Upload data compression appears feasible (3:1 ?).  Do we need any study or proposals of how much data we are asking folks to upload? Or is this better to determine experimentally?
