DRM can be DIY

Our friend Alan Shea mentioned the need for some DIY posts on how to get started in the DRM monitoring hobby. I sent an email to another friend Crispino I5XWW. Crispino's IF converters were the first way I got active in DRM. Although Crispino doesn't promote himself much, his IF converters are top notch. I have used them with my Yaesu FT-817 and Icom PCR-100 with great success.

Here is an excerpt from him about what he is currently offering. I can tell you from experience that his boards are made of high quality components and excellent electronic craftsmanship. He will make sure you are happy and his prices are excellent.

Linking-up ideas

Stephan's work with the Pappradio was recognized with a link in the current DRM.org newsletter. There is also information from Ludo Maes about are recent trip to Asia to visit hardware manufacturers. What can we do to encourage rapid R&D and perhaps getting Stephan and Alan (amongst others) together with this overseas hardware development?
