Project Status

The hardware is working. The firmware is considered beta, but all functionality is implemented, and should work.

Thoughts on Design

• The SMA connector is quite cheap, and will probably not last long (no stainless steel). Also, with the current design, the SMA tighening torque might break the solder connectio to the PCB (happened during testing).
• The HMC602 is EOL (see production notes below).
