Hi guys! Sorry it's been so long since I've updated. Believe me, I haven't forgotten. I've been hard at work! As you may know, the PortableSDR was selected as one of the 50 semi-finalists for the Hackaday Prize! Thanks everybody! Wish me luck!

The next round of judging is less than a month away so I am trying really hard to knock out the next revision of the PSDR. So far I've got dual capacitive touch keys (for morse code), battery charge controller, GPS, and the VNA/Antenna analyzer blocks. Even bigger microcontroller. Real time clock support, digital gain control. MicroSD slot.

Anti-aliasing filters are going in all over the place, built in speaker, mic, and an earphone connector that works with smartphone-style earphones/microphones will be included.

There are a few things that wont make it into this version (RF Amp, 144Mhz mixer) but for some things I am including a "shield" style place to plug in modules. I don't think I am going to get a new LCD in there this time. Also, PJRC's amazing work at speeding up the driver for the ILI9341 makes me think I may not need to switch to the parallel interface on the LCD (which takes A LOT OF PINS!)

I hope to have the schematic changes done in a few days and a PCB design as soon as possible after that (a week?). I'll keep you guys updated!
