[SCCC] SO2R Box - Suggestions Appreciated

[Paul Gacek]

I spent a lot of time a while back experimenting with building a LP SO2R setup.

I used the microHam after building my own Arduino based ones. 

I’ve had issues responding on this reflector and including links to my blog.

Check out www.nomadic.blog and search for SO2R.

You might enjoy unfettered enthusiasm run amuck!!
