font-family:Arial'>As many of you know Jim Dixon WB6NIL and Dale Weber N7PKT have
been working on the Pico Node project <a href="http://www.piconode.org/">www.piconode.org</a>
aka PickleJar Research. This allows a very small low cost system based on
the BeagleBoard-xM single board computer to operate two radios either simplex
or full-duplex. We are currently in production building the LOX
Board. This board is designed to mount directly beneath the BeagleBoard-xM
and provides a bunch of neat features including audio processing, standard
controls for CTCSS, COR, PTT, general purpose I/Os and a wide input range
switching regulator.</span></font></p>
