		<title>apolLO I Software Update</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have recently seen two situations where an apolLO I fails to lock, but does not appear to have a hardware issue.  Upon investigation, I discovered that the EEPROM where the setup is stored (frequency, etc) has been overwritten in the first location.  Specifically it has a 0xFF instead of an 0&#215;23 in it.  I [...]]]></description>

		<title>DEMI Introduces WSSA</title>
		<description><![CDATA[DEMI has just unveiled their new WSSA-M tunable Weak Signal Source based on the apolLO-32.  Previously, to get a weak signal source it was necessary to buy one per band.  This new DEMI product built on the apolLO-32 has a rotary switch allowing you to select up to five of the preprogrammed apolLO-32 frequencies.  There [...]]]></description>

		<title>Additional A32 Frequencies</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Several requests for additional frequencies have been made since the apolLO-32 first shipped with 32 frequencies pre-programmed.  While some have opted to get an apolLO-I and program in their particular needed frequency, some would still prefer the convenience of a pre-programmed set of frequencies.  For the revision C board, an additional 3 jumpers were added [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thoughts on High RF Environments</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Jim, WD5IYT, and I went roving in January again (last week) and had a blast.  We were QRV from 6m-24GHz (11 bands).  One interesting thing that happened a couple of times was a step-function shift in audio on received signals on a few bands.  Unfortunately I do not have a recording of this, but imagine [...]]]></description>
