I have been aware of the mcHF project for several months and would probably have bought the clone when it was advertised by Martin Lynch a few months back. Fortunately they pulled it from the market due to license issues and I have been waiting for the full kit to reappear on the M0NKA Order Page rather than purchase one of the Chinese clones which generally have poor reviews.
Meanwhile I found the Git Hub UHSDR page with the active software development and became aware of the parallel hardware development OVI40 in Germany which looks like it will be a better product, but is not shipping yet.
The UHSDR page has an excellent Wiki and I was able to set up the Eclipse IDE and fork and clone the software and build it. However I will no doubt download a binary for the first build.
So far there has been little documentation about the v0.7 that I am expecting to arrive tomorrow. So I plan to photograph and publish as much as I can while I build, and hope it will be of interest and use to others. Publishing this is also getting me practice in using Git which will be needed if I ever get to want to play with the software.
