developed by  univeristy at Wup[ertal, Germany. HAMS.  Also an MPEG2 encoder 
that accepts bandband audio and RGB video and outputs the ATSC transport 
stream.  It fits on one Eurocard (60 x 100 mm.  A complete DTV exciter with 
outputs at 44 Mhz and ona speific UHF channel at 10 milliwatts in on a second 
Eurocard.  Ituses Alterra programmable logic arrays.  The program is by 
students Adnan El Bardiwil and Stefan Mondwurf. 

Lets get some INFO on this.  Rhodes wants to set up a HAM DTV station (he is
