  As part of the Fermilab Proton Improvement Plan, the readout electronics for the Fermilab H Linac has been upgraded. The new custom electronics provide a low cost solution to process the 2nd harmonic of the RF at 402.5MHz. A single 4 channel NIM-bin module is used to readout each 4 plate stripline BPM pickup with each module being locked to an external 805MHz machine reference from the low level RF. For each BPM a number of measurements are provided including average horizontal and vertical position, average intensity, and average relative phase for variable pulse lengths from a few μs up to 50~usec. The system is being exploited in a number of ways with new operations applications.
