[Dstar] AMBE2020 and CMX589AP4 ICs

[Peter Schrader]

Hi all,
I have found a source of these rare beasties (thanks to Fred, PA4YBR).

For those who are building DStar adapters, or who may be interested, the 
AMBE2020 is Euro25 and the CMX589AP4 is Euro20.  Everything else on 
Satoshi's PCB is fairly generic (Farnell, X-On etc).

I have 8 of his PCB's on hand, so far 4 are spoken for.  If anybody else 
is interested I am happy to kit more up.  At this early stage I am 
estimating about $150 all up.  This does not include a microphone, 
speaker (an amp is required, say LM3080 or similar) or enclosure.

See http://d-star.dyndns.org/rig.html.en for details of the project.

Seems like a pretty cheap way to get into DStar if you already have a 
packet capable FM radio.

Email me at vk4ea at wia.org.au if you are interested in the chips and/or 
the kit.

Cheers,
Peter
